Need a Computer for a reasonable Price? I have a recommendation for you.

When I find a supplier I love I like to share it with everyone.

This person is at the top of my list: Al King 512-949-8853.

We buy all of our office computers from Al. Found him on Craig's list. Al is in his 50s/60s and refurbishes Dell computers to factory specs and resells them.

He set me up with a Loaded Dell Optiplex 745, monitor (19") , keyboard and mouse for $370. And, he delivered it as well. I've purchased 4 systems from him so far. The only problem we had was a monitor went haywire  -Al replaced it in 30 minutes.

Al needs the business and does great work - give him a call 512-949-8853.

You won't regret it!
