Subject: SLG: bulk hardware buy
****************************************************************************
Saskatoon Linux Group - bulk hardware buy -
****************************************************************************
Hi everybody,
I would like to see if we can organize a bulk hardware buy. The time seems
right with memory prices bottoming out and CPU-makers fighting for market
share (i.e. Cyrix 5x86 and 6x86 chips).
> Look through the price list and send e-mail if you would like to buy
> an item and indicate when you can pay for it.
Although there are local suppliers for hardware items, I have choosen this
Internet supplier for several reasons:
- availability of high-end parts for low prices
- 1-800 number that works from Canada
- they use FedEx shipping (better than UPS)
- they give quantity pricing
I have bought several items from them for myself and never had problems. I
also followed their bussiness for over 1/2 year now and they seem consistent.
If anyone has a better supplier - great - we'll use the prices as a
benchmark quote and see if it can be beaten by someone else.
>From their complete price list (see URL above), I have selected low weight
items, mostly for upgrading existing systems to keep shipping costs low.
Not every conceivable item that is in the catalog is included - if you need
something else, check the web page. Also the memory prices seem high - maybe
phone them for a more up-to-date pricing.
Notes:
- The FIRST price is the US$ price from the list, the SECOND one is the
approximate cost to you (*1.47 for the exchange rate -AND- the GST).
Example:
SOME PRODUCT 100.00 147.00
- Also add about $10 for shipping (per person - based on 10 people ordering).
Example:
Your order 1x "SOME PRODUCT", you pay approx. CA$ 157.00
- The savings for quantity pricing and actual prices can only be determined
at the time of order.
- Payment would have to be made in advance.
- All parts listed here should work under Linux as far as I know.
