Inexpensive Product/Refurbished Product for Nonprofits?

160 points posted to Dell by spacejockeys 11/28/07

Organizations such as TechSoup make software products incredibly affordable for nonprofits, only charging them a handling fee. Hardware products are still woefully lacking. It would be great to see programs that get hardware, PCs, etc into the hands of nonprofits at cost.

I worked for a nonprofit a few years ago, we replaced our system every 3 years, bought 3yr gold support and keep your old HD on drive failures (we handled protected health information) . Dell always gave us great deals over website pricing for optiplex systems. I understand some nonprofits have significantly less money, but there are great deals if you get to the rights sales people, and Dell isnt where you buy software for a nonprofit.
