[KLUG Members] Computer Values

[Adam Bultman]

Hey, you work in Holland, too.  huzzah!

I'd say, take the specs, take the year it was made,  and try to find old
articles on the net about pricing. You'd be surprised how many old pages
on the 'net have pricing on them.

otherwise, there's the local Holland Computer store - "Computers and
More".  I couldn't tell you the street off hand, but if you follow the
small road coming from 112th by the liquor store, and drive down,you'll
see it on the left, it has what? green awnings?  Sorry.. I am terrible
with directions/street names/nacigation.

In grand rapids, there's GPC computers (they are really good...  they'd
be your best bet, even if it's just over the phone) and Digilink.  I tend
not to trust digilink since they were taking OEM processors from under the
glass, overclocking them, seeing how high they'd go, and then putting them
back - but in a pinch, they'd work too.

other than that, there aren't too many small places I know of / trust.
GPC is good.
