Can I ask what hardware you deem necessary (for $850) to reprogram mining pool code?

We were planning on purchasing 2 base-level laptops (Acer, Toshiba, or comparable) to use as dedicated machines for the project. They'll be used for reprogramming, testing, quality assurance, and then end-user testing when the project reaches its final stages. Because our team could potentially (hopefully!) profit off this project, we're barred from using the lab computers.

At the end of the project, we'll probably sell them back. We have a suitable mining rig for implementation, and then any expenses following the project timeframe will be paid for by taking low-percentage cuts from blocks generated by users of the TurMine program.

Makes sense, thanks!
