Refurbished Computers
We have purchased several hundred refurbished computers over the last few years. I was not satisfied with the refurbished laptops, however, we have been very happy with the desktops. The savings have been incredible. We recently purchased Dell Optiplex 280 computers with XP Pro licenses, 1G ram, 2.8 G processing speed, and DVD players for only $170 each. And that includes a three year warranty!
Today I read some interesting information about the environment impact of using refurbished computers. Significant energy is used in the production of PCs. Reusing PCs eliminates this energy use.

Congratulations on our decision to consider refurbished / off-lease computers in your school district! Our company (Systime, http://www.systime.com) has worked with thousands of schools like yours across the country providing Dell, HP, Gateway and IBM desktops, laptops and servers. If you are looking for a second supplier, we’d love to work with your district too! We do have some very high-quality Dell factory-refurbished laptops if you are interested in giving another shot at using refurbished laptops.
For the Dell OptiPlex GX280’s we can match of beat most competitors, provide very high-quality systems with 3 year warranties, and ship for free. We accept purchase orders from schools.
