Comment Re:$1000 a PC? (Score 1) 606
I should clear some things up. 1000 computers is the total supported. At any given time only a few are being replaced. That $1000 includes a pretty generous warranty and monitor. The warranty is pretty much a given with Dell as they don't sell parts for their computers very long on their website. We get about 5 years out of a computer and the 18 month reference was so we minimize the number of configurations floating around. If a machine breaks, we can say it's config 2010 and pull a part from that shelf. Also, consider that we already have staff and it would be considered "soft time."
