[OPLINTECH] Computer Upgrades

[Dan Will]

Fred,

    I have purchased nothing but All in Ones for the last 4 years (well with
the exception of laptops for a lab).  I have gotten several different HP
models, using the "best bang for the buck" model. They all have 4 gig of
memory and are 64 bit machines. I have not spent more than $750 on any of
them. The only issues that I have had are one failed DVD drive and 2 fans.
The fans can be a pain to change out but the DVD was very easy. I currently
have about 60 of them deployed in 4 locations. The major advantage to me is
the space savings. I no longer have to put computers on the floor where they
suck in dust bunnies, have water run under them, or patrons kick them.
Because of that our patrons have more leg room too.

We're looking at upgrading some of our staff computers at a local branch and
was wondering what a lot of the IT administrators for their libraries are
putting in place. I'm mauling over the idea of using all-in-one computers
since it seems desktop will be getting phased out in the next few years. Any
ideas?

 

Many Thanks,
