Quantity matters. Dell will give you a better price, for example, if you purchase multiples of the same configuration. Time may change my opinion, but Dell 9010s have been working well for us for a couple of years. If your library is a branch of the municipality, CDWG.com is where you should be looking.

We use CDWG for all of our PC purchases and have been buying Lenovo Thinkcentre's for a while now and have had great luck with them. We buy the small footprint models like the M72e and can get them for around $420 (2gb ram, 500gb hard drive). They have proven very stable and easy to work with. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stacy Pasche" <spasche@benzieshoreslibrary.org> To: michlib-l@mail.mcls.org Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 2:09:05 PM Subject: [Michlib-l] PC Purchases I am wondering what PC vendors you have used successfully.
