PC Upgrade in User Area
A large pool of PCs in the User Areas at both Pi Chiu Building and Wong Foo Yuan Building are gradually being upgraded. Each upgraded PC has a powerful configuration of Pentium4-2G with 512MB RAM, 40GB harddisk, a 15" Color Monitor and a DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo.

The same Pentium4-2G PCs have been installed in the training rooms at Pi Chiu Building. In addition, these training rooms were equipped with slimmer LCD monitors. Hence, you should find more table space to work with and views of the projection screen are not blocked.

Check http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/itsc/compenv/userarea/hardware.html to locate these PCs and enjoy working in ITSC.
