We are happy to assist with your computer equipment purchases. You are welcome to discuss your needs with us, and we can provide advice and facilitate purchasing and computer setup for you.
For Windows and Linux workstations, we currently recommend this system from the Dell Techmart web site: http://www.techmart.umn.edu/
Some local vendors we have used.
Dell “OET Standard Laptop Latitude D630”, through Techmart.
For general use, we recommend HP Laserjet or Xerox Phaser printers.
HPs best prices can generally be found buying direct from HP's higher education online store.
Xerox can be purchased directly from the Xerox web site, or locally via QDS (http://www.Qdsinc.net).
Although for any type of printer, it's worth comparing prices at online stores, for example www.provantage.com
If you need support for your printer to be accessible from our central systems, please consult with us before buying. Printer features we require include a network connection which supports printing via port 9100, and PostScript support.
