want to make sure that we get one that will last for years which means getting one with at least 2 gigs Ram and a fast processor....

Have looked at Walmart, some of their machines are good, but nothing with an adequate amount of memory

Lori is sending some stuff that she made to auction off at Island Lake. Maybe the money raised from this can be used towards the purchase of a computer.

I would like to offer my husband's and my computer services. It may be cheaper to buy the parts to build a computer than to buy it from a store. And will probably be more reliable. Let me know. We have access to any and all software that would be needed to make this an awesome computer. Even if you do end up buying it from a store - don't spend the extra money on software like Office or Adobe - we can get it.

Let me know. :angry:

OMG I'm an idiot! We are having a complete inventory sale of all of the old computers here at my work. Desktops, monitors, printers. If you want I can grab a decent performing Dell tower and then use the money raised to upgrade the memory (if needed). Or just get one and build it up for SCD. If you need a monitor, let me know. Or a printer. The IT dept has first dibs on this stuff and I know what is in good working condition.
