[OPLINTECH] Public Access Computer purchases

[Becky Schultz]

Hello,

We recently went with the Optiplex 755 Small Form Factor for circ 
desks.  We ordered a separate stand that holds the display and PC, 
Neo-Flex all in one stand, also from Dell.  We are very happy with them 
so far.  Kind of tricky setting up the stand, but saves a lot of space 
and looks nice.  We've had two of these in place since December, and the 
remainder since January.  We opted for 17" displays to save space, and 
we installed Steady State.

We haven't had any problems with them so far, and we have been happy 
with Dell support on other stuff.  I would not hesitate to order these 
for public use.

The only real complaint with all-in-one PCs we've had (Gateway Profiles, 
now MPC, which we have lost the remaining warranty on) is if the display 
goes bad, the whole thing is out of commission.
