[ale] Semi-OT: Atl/Ga hardware vendors?

[Robert L. Harris]

I'll run these buy my manager but they seem to want a single shop for
large and small.  Most of the time we buy 2-5 at at time with the 100
once or twice a year.  They all have to be identicle configurations
though as we roll out a home grown kernel, drivers and everything
package that is a lot simpler to deal with when all the hardware is the
same across the board.


Thus spake H. Bieber (habieb at myrealbox.com):

> Robert... I agree with the people that recommend using a Big company for lots of machines. There is a local vendor that is an IBM rep, they get good pricing from IBM. We are ordering 115 machines from them for a rollout, a mix of desktops and laptops (and they are putting on an image that I made and will test every system before it ships). Their prices were about $20-$50 cheaper than Dell and we (Emory Univ) are a Dell Premier site. The Reps name is Mike Csoke (pronounced Choke-a) his cell number is 678-246-3066, give him a call and tell him I sent you. Also, if you do call him let me know and I will talk to him for you also and make sure he takes care of you.
