And sorry, your resume in the post before this one isn't compelling. Did you drop that line to impress me? If you've been buying equipment for a 25 computer business for only three years, you have not been in the business long enough or with a large enough company to make a fair observation. 25 computers is *squat.*

I've been building computers for far longer than that. I just did it for an entire company for about three years after their last tech guy left and I was capable of taking it over (amongst my other duteis). I realize 25 computers aren't many, but it definitely gave me a clear understanding of the rate in which computer components drop in price.

And in the case of HDDs and RAM, it ain't by half.

Here, look at this:

256 SDRAM $39

512 DDR $79

1GB DDR2 $112

Notice any gross inconsistencies in your argument? How old is that SDRAM? Seven years yet it's still well over 1/3rd the price of DDR2 for a proportionately smaller stick? How old is that DDR? Three years yet it's still over 60% of the price of DDR2 for a proportionatly smaller stick?
