Investment

Lab	Material	Estimated price / remarks
6 (MicroTCA)	ATCA shelf and ATCA blades	an arm and a leg
2 (NIM)	Ortec CF8000 Octal Constant-Fraction Discriminator	All Ortec CFDs are not RoHS compliant and can therefore not be purchased in the EU and Switzerland. The only alternative are the N605 of CAEN that costs EUR 3730
9 (Networking)	Micro PCs. E.g. HP 800 G4	CHF 550-600 (CERN stores) per unit. 3 units required.
