You don't need a whole pc refresh, just put in $100 solid state drives. I haven't thrown away any computers since ssd's came out.

- 72deluxe 13y agoWhat a great idea. I had noticed that software requirements for machines seem to have relatively plateaued (other than for GPU requirements for gaming but that's a very different matter) but if you have a dual-core system (not single core or single core hyperthreaded), I would image that shoving an SSD in is going to keep you bubbling along happy for quite some time. Great idea.
- Spooky23 13y agoAutocorrect mangled part of my post. The issue is that desk-side visits for OS installs or part upgrades are both expensive and error prone. If you are outsourcing the process, you're easily looking at $250-400 of labor per unit for an asset that is worth < $100. As an added issue, you're going to have quality issues that are even more expensive to deal with.
