Yes, you may claim these expenses.  If you made outright purchases of this equipment, they are subject to depreciation, but if they were purchased for the use of your business, these are expenses you may claim.  For additional information on where these items would be claimed on your return, please see this FAQ:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3302228
