<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Our un-written policy has been 'make em
last', usually due to lack of money.<br>
<br>
One thing to consider for your policy is the general PC
construction.<br>
Basically, consumer grade or enterprise grade and off the shelf or
customized.<br>
This may help determine the replacement schedule. <br>
<br>
When we purchased PC's, we buy custom units designed for our needs
to maximizes their life.<br>
<br>
Level 9 Networks provided the last two major purchases.<br>
<br>
Some things they provided:<br>
PC's optimized for speed, use, service, price, etc.<br>
Usually a small footprint case.<br>
Some with SSD drives, others enterprise grade hard drives.<br>
With or without DVD's, depending on use.<br>
LCD screens may have built in sound, depending on use.<br>
Dual screens for certain staff PC's.<br>
<br>
Various software installed on one staff and one patron PC then
imaged to others.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">My Board is looking into adopting a
computer replacement schedule, and I was wondering if any of
you had some sample policies out there. They are looking at
roughly a 5 year rotation period. Any information you can
give would be helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>
