| [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
