PLUS put $614 in the bank in case one of the 4 computers break after the
first year! Or add another $200 and use the 4th computer and buy
a spare computer box (no monitor, keyboard etc.) I
wish I could buy Insurance in this way! Actually we will do one better
we will cover the hardware for 3 years and keep the 1.75 spare computers
for us!
We don't charge enough... Or as many people have
found out the hard way... buy the Dell and hope and pray you never blow
your Windows! We always make more money working on Dells then selling new
computers even at our $25 / $35 per hour.
