Rodger is going to Dell's consumer website better than using UT's Dell site

Subject: [UTCSTAFF] Computer Purchase Recommendations


> If you will be purchasing a computer for the University in the near
future,
> you'll want to consider a couple of special prices on Dell Optiplex GX260
> systems.  For $1,510.78, you can get a 2.53GHz Pentium IV with 512MB of
RAM,
> a 40GB hard drive, a DVD/CDRW combo drive, 250MB Zip drive, and an 19"
> Trinitron monitor.  For $286 more ($1,797.20 total) you can have the same
> system with a 17" LCD flat panel monitor.  The 17" LCD monitor takes up
far
> less desk space, produces less heat, uses less electricity, and gives you
> roughly the same viewing area as the 19" Trinitron, so it's a nice upgrade
> if you can afford it.
>
> To purchase one of these systems, complete a requisition in IRIS that
> references the proper equote number:
>
> GX260 with 19" Trinitron monitor, equote# E002226544, $1,510.78
> GX260 with 17" LCD monitor, equote# E002226479, $1,797.20.

> To customize your own configuration for the University, visit the UTC/Dell
> website (please don't use the retail or regular higher education pages).
> You can get to the UTC/Dell website by going to http://itd.utc.edu and
> choosing "recommended hardware" under the faculty/staff quick links.
>
> By the way, if you're interested in purchasing a Dell for personal use at
> home, then I recommend simply going to Dell's consumer website.
