I have a VERY small business.  I do freelance work as a voice over artist (this entails recording my voice for use in commercials and phone messaging, store announcements etc).  All it took me was purchasing my computer, my microphone, my mixer board and some editing software.  That's it...maybe $1500 tops...but it's not regular business yet (but that's okay with me, I'm a stay at home mom besides)

Most large computer manufacturers are able to purchase large quantities of memory, hard drives, motherboards and other hardware components at steep discounts.  Therefore it makes sense that they can offer you "cheap" computers.  But most of these computers use lower end processors such as Celerons or Semprons which do not provide the performance of Athlons or Pentium 4s.\n\nThe same holds true for software, they buy large quantities of Office and Windows from Microsoft and they are given a discount.  Of course when you buy a computer prices are marked up a little so the company can make a profit.\n\nIf your husband is really interested in building computers (as a living?) or for himself I reccomend taking a look at Extreme Tech's step by step guide to building your own computer.

I'd say the do it for the money.  Since we don't have to pay to look at webpages and webpages don't get money from our internet subscription.

Sometimes I wonder why some people are allowed access to computers.

As a Computer Repair specialist that owns his own company, it seems to me that Pc users tend to be frustrated over lack of usablity and lack of compatiblity of the MAC at first attempt.mac users scowel at the pcs security and crashing problems. \n(im talking about more then the average mom computer user)\nMac users seem to know as much about there computer as say a gamers knows about there playstation. they know about there specs and thats about. most if not all of the hardware repairs are done at a service station of mac professtionals were as pc upgrades are alot more common and require computer users to go through out the system

well it depends on your need, if u r always on the move and need a computer everywhere u go then it is a must or else, if u have good access to PC, then why spend so much on a laptop.\n\nHave a good one!

That pricing does sound right for unlimited users based on the per processor licensing model.  The alternative is server plus user/device CALs, but for 50 users it might be close to the same.\n\nCheck out this link for more information.

this has been an issue for along time with computer geeks however it has been found that both camps are right and that it is really up to personal preference computers do eat up more energy being  booted up but the fact that power surges and the mechanical parts in the drive in continuous use causes more where and tear including the , these two points alone show that they both kind of cancel each other out abit and any difference is so insignificant that it is more of a personal preference issue .

I think you answered the question.  Many of them do it for the money.  That is a shame.

To be honest. Not much. The desktop market is just too saturated. I would look at donating it to a charity. You get a better tax write off than going through the hassle of trying to sell it, while helping out folks in need. Win-win. TX

Well I think that ok, they are coming out with a new windows, but the minimum req. are a bit much. Some people have to go out and buy a whole new pc for it. I am safe because my new pc is Vista capable. But I do not know if just because it meets the minimum req for it, that it will run slow. So i have to buy a whole new one with better features so it can have better speed or something.

I don't know about the place your talking about but I do know at least here in Madison we have many small computer shops that have many older but still good computers for a cheep price.  Maybe they would be willing to donate a few of them, wouldn't hurt to ask.

not always they work on a profit system that relies on your wallet.  clone computers are good and cheaper but what happens when the consulting company folds and you need your computers, will you be able to get help, with a name brand help is always a phone call or email away.
