Well thanks to Kevin Rudd 60 pc's and 3 laptops are being delivered tomorrow morning. Ended up getting the HP 6530b Laptops and DC7900 Desktops. So....I've got four days before the holidays to see how many I can get installed between classes. Should be a good week!!!

We'd probably be looking at about $1,350 AUD for the equivilent workstation if our current quotes are anything to go by. Can you provide the actual HP model number for each product for a better comparison?
