[tech] File Server Case

[Sam Moore]

Thanks for finding that.

I'll see if TechBuy will agree to us returning the PSU.

I am in favour of increasing the budget. However right now we don't 
really have the money to buy the remaining parts, so they may have to 
wait until after O'Day.
We could make a call for member donations. I don't really like to do 
this since members pay us lots of money in membership and drinks 
already, but it's an option.
