[OPLINTECH] PC Purchases...Single or Multiple

[Colleen Sandusky]

Kevin,

As budgets keep getting tighter it does make it more difficult. That is why I made the decision to build my own a number of years ago. I can build for far less, which allows me to purchase more. Also, components are available far longer than computer models. Since I do tech part time it makes cloning, troubleshooting and repairing so much easier. 

If I had to buy, I would definitely purchase as many as I could afford of the same model.

Hello everyone, 

First of all, I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. 

With the budget being tight here at Coshocton, I find that I am only purchasing computers on an as needed basis instead of a regular set time. But by doing this, my last purchases have been for single computers which makes it harder to troubleshoot hardware issues. In each instance, there had been enough time in between purchases that the model was no longer available. It puts you in a postition where you don't have the convenience to swap parts out during the troubleshooting process. 

So, is it a valid argument to request that at least two computers be purchased at the same time so that the hardware is the same.
