Absurdist elitist 'micro products' always pop up right when you need them.
I think people could really use the lift provided by owning and consuming a $765 bottle of beer from furry organic coozie - with a tail and soft brown eyes.
Since you're the 'correct' one, maybe you can transcend this 'vision type' barrier and offer some insight into the condition?
It's like this - put a cat on top of a tube television. Allow the tail to swish randomly while positioned less than two inches from the tube surface.
An LCD would work for this experiment, but you'd have to use some sort of heated 'shelf', else the cat won't be comfortable enough to swish, but I digress.
The object of my interest is in the image, not the reflection of my surroundings, however transient or 'mirage-like'. Likewise, with the 3-D poster, my interest is in the actual image, not the random dot pattern. Put a swishing cat or reflected glare *from a completely different visual plane* in front of that, and I'll have the same complaint, only a bit stranger.
Diminishing refraction requires a smooth surface (i learned something reading that amateur telescope making book)
Glossy surfaces reflect higher intensity light sources more readily.
Polarize or coat the damned things already, so the light inside can come out, but these exterior sources are diffused across the surface.
Matte has drawbacks, but deepness of black and 'poppy' RGB aren't why I bought my computer. Neither is HD video playback, dammit. If I wanted an entertainment device with a keyboard, I would buy one. I have a 'laptop computer' which I use to 'compute' on my 'lap', and I want about 2 million gloss-free pixels to do it with.

A Texan who has not experienced life outside north of Amarillo has a view of the world that begins and ends with Texas - and there is no 'righter' right than the opinion of that Texan while in Texas.
The list of these Texans is long, and a signature element is recognizable in all. Don McLeroy and Rick Perry are of the same ilk - and both Aggies.
The thing is, Texans are so damned prideful, they blind each other with it, and it is misdirected as religious and political zealotry - or where religion or politics don't find a foothold, it shows up as sports or militaristic fanaticism.

Slider controls for accelerator and brake with 'PRNDB' selector, plus individual sliders for motor, engine, and generator and a visual representation of the work/relation of each..

Somewhere in the swirl of undersized fonts and chaotic connectors are a set of concepts that probably hold up the whole presentation, and could represent real gain, if people could grasp your frickin' message..
Price out a full-on Maximo or Altiris implementation, complete with vendor visit. Take this quote and determine how many hours of your workers' time can be covered with that payment.
Define some OSS components to do what you want to do - Monitoring, clickable representations, database connection, provisioning, etc., and write some code to glue them together. Don't forget to version control, and write documentation as you go.
I've done this before, and I've also found a way to make it happen using Visio and Access. Take some of those scrappy spreadsheets and import them into a new Access Database. Add some of the wishlist items and define some secondary tables - vendor and support contact info, customer data, performance metrics, hardware details (serial number, date of purchase, PO#, etc).
Visio documents can be easily generated from that Access database, if you spend a few days getting familiar with the process. Once that level of mastery exists, it's trivial to templatize your environment and provide a web-accessible graphical tool.
Studio is a great place to start. Dead simple to manage, and easy to churn out revisions. You can even include the Suse virtualization stack, which provides most of the functionality of Xen's 'official' server release. Put OpenXencenter http://www.openxencenter.com/ in the live release, and you're set.
If hardware support is an issue, have them generate a support email with a basic hardware profile. Add appropriate packages to the Live DVD, and repeat.
Caveat: It's invite only, and it make take some time to get one through the site.
In any case, virtualization is a great way to go, especially if you're arming these students with life skills. The physical disk (heads, cylinders, sectors, tracks) is all but abstracted, as is the concept of IRQ, bus mastering, and most of the day-to-day of ten to fifteen years ago.
A focus on mass implementations and the real-world fallout from those applications is something I would like to see in a class. Forget about baby steps, let's get this whole awesome thing in motion and leap some real hurdles - SAN concepts, multi-homing, foundations of capacity concerns, network-scale monitoring, and configuration management should shed enough practical exposure to the real aspects of implementation (shell access, users/files, networking, filesystems, hardware, etc.) as to keep it relevant and entertaining.
If you think perl is going to let you off the hook syntactically, you've got another thing coming.
Spend a weekend afternoon reading the man page. Re-acquaint yourself with single vs. double quotes, curly braces, backslash delimiting, and I guarantee your life will change.

Backblaze uses, and specifies (it's not a kit, BTW - just a parts list) , which is among the design choices deemed 'flawed' by many.
If it suits your needs, great. Protocase and Newegg would like your business. If it doesn't make the 'quality' cut, SuperMicro sells nice stuff.
If not, a suitable JBOD solution hunt isn't exactly news.
