Aquarium Advice FINatic
hey everyone. so im finishing up my network administration degree this quarter, and im in a class called "advanced networking topics."
for my final project, i have to pretend like i am a consultant company desigining a network from the ground up for a college. i have to figure everything from how much cable to run, to what software to run on the servers, how to link the campuses/buildings, and even what ports to open on the firewalls!!!
i have a lot of experience with home and very small business networks, but i have not actually done anything on a corporate level. i have taken all sorts of classes now, but i haven't actually had the experience to see it live.
i was wondering if anyone can link me to any websites or offer on help with my project.
here are the details:
i need to price out computers, routers, switches, servers, etc. and like i said, i need every detail from what brands/models to buy of all that stuff, all the way down to the dimensions of the server room!
so if anyone can provide me with any help/tips on magazines to look at, websites to look at, or anything of the sort... please help!! i have to create a whole report and give a 30 minute presentation.
thanks!!!

here are the details:
Your consulting team has been awarded a contract to provide technical consulting services to a community college. [blah blah blah]. The college is now ready to "start from scratch" (we are assuming they have nothing to start with).
My projects details:

-4 seperate campuses
-Campuses are 100 miles apart
-3 buildings per campus (all are 2 story buildings)
