Na as far as i know no backup options. Just things in terms of computers/hardware to use, additional hardware eg printer, monitor and networking hardware.
Another question. If i am having to connect to the schools exisiting network whose servers are located in anther building. What cable should i use. The school uses twisted pair cabling but i have read that it has a limit of about 100metres and im guessing that could be pushing it in the distance between the building.
Should i consider optical cable?

Also what do i look for in terms of server needed for a multimedia computer room. What type of specifications should i be looking at?

And finally does everyone agree on racepro's suggestion as so far this is what im going on. and would anyone else like to elaborate on  the details he has supplied in terms of other components.

Thanks guys you are a real good help when it comes to this type of stuff.
