Sorry the last guy got all my money. Actually the first system he had was way to much for my office so he worked me up another deal. I had to purchase 4 new PC's a net work so they could work somewhat together and I purchased a new multi function printer, copier, and scanner. I'm sure I could have found a better price but I have his business and he spends over 10 grand a year with me so it was not that big of a deal.

Did it include the appropriate software licenses for what you need?

I believe I had to by the licenses software for each computer.

Re: F... Bill Gates...
 

Like you said, you and he have a business relationship. Sounds like he got you squared away, and when done right, that's worth a lot.

He is in the business of installing business systems and has installers, a service center, etc... I know some agents who just went out and purchased computers but they have all had issues and now are having to call in IT guys to fix them. So far mine are working fine but I'm not using much of the software but he is going to send someone out to spend the day helping with any issues. Most of the stuff I use is web based so it is not that hard to use and its alot of the stuff I have used for the past couple years.

[quote=firstdown;556917]I have a love hate relation with computers. I just purchased a new computer system for my office and I have no clue how to use all the stuff installed on them. I just took the spec sheet from our home office and gave it to a customer who does business computers systems and told him to get me what was needed. His first price was almost $11,000 then I sat him down and got him to about half that price. He said its a basic office system but I still get lost.[/quote]

[quote=GhettoDogAllStars;556811]I heard the unit needs to be well-ventilated, almost to the point of impracticality. You sure it's well ventilated?[/quote]

the original units had horrible cooling as well too, which they attempted to fix I think by a newer heatsink, they're suffering the same problems as a lot of laptops, trying to make things too sleek, slim, and powerful at the same time, without new technology

Re: F... Bill Gates...
 

[quote=Mattyk72;556914]It means you send it back to MS if it's still under their warranty, or you better hope you bought a replacement plan at the store. If not, then it's time to sell it broken on ebay for parts.[/quote]

Or attempt a fix of it yourself by replacing the x-clamps with screws and washers + new thermal paste

holy shit

half of that could build you one hell of a machine capable of doing anything you wanted

5500 would get you a computer that could do some serious crunching, decoding, etc and a 50 inch TV to use as a monitor

I needed 4 work stations for an office. I told the guy to give me the works thinking it would be like a home computer and run around 1,000 each station but he figured the mack daddy office system. After I saw his price and coughed up a few things he realized I needed just a basic off system with a few extras. I did get 3 other bids and his was cheaper on one and was about $600 more then the other two bids. That was close enough for me because he is a customer and spends $ with our office each year. What I actually purchased I can tell you they meet the specs I needed and they work after that I have no clue. The guy who did come in from our home office to convert me from our old company owned system over to my new system said I have a nice system for my needs.

Oh I thought he was trying to sell you just 1 machine for 11k. ~5K for 4 workstations isn't bad.
