[PLUG] Quick non-Dell computer quotes? |
Hi folks, I'd like to get some "real" competitive quotes for a desktop system. I already have 3 Dell quotes, all coming in around $1000 (+/- $25), and that just seems too dang high for nothing all that special. I'm honestly rather tired of Dell's crap, and would like to have a real shot at getting a better vendor. This is for life-cycle replacement of about 60-ish desktops (for 2 labs and some kiosks). I know that, like Dell, other vendors (like HP, IBM, etc) have "special" quoting sites where you can get a "better" quote than through the regular site. I don't have any accounts on any of them, so I was hoping someone might be able to throw a quote together real quick for me. I don't need a hard quote, but something a little tighter than a ballpark figure. All I want is NOT a small form factor (ie, _bigger_ than 13" x 13" x 4") Dual-core i5 4 GB RAM NVidia graphics supporting dual monitor DVD/RW optical drive 22" Wide-screen monitor 3-year hardware NBD warranty I don't care about the OS (we'll put linux on it) the RAM on video card (256 MB is fine) the i5 clock speed the hard drive - 100GB is plenty :-) the kybd or mouse speakers - none or internal is fine network - whatever is built-in is fine remote out-of-band management So, really is it too much to want to get something for around $800? -Randall ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
