Not bad. Have you shopped around? VeryPC Flex / Novatech / Stone, spec for spec would come in over £100 less per unit than the Dell Quote above and with the Flex you can choose your monitor. I'd recommend a SFF chassis with monitor mount as you get desktop components too and the chance to upgrade in the future. Just be sure to spec a solution with a lockable cable tidy and front facing ports.

There are only 135 of the Samsung Ultrabook left in the entire channel and there are no more units on order from Samsung. This deal is flying out of the door!

Keep it fun. Keep it VeryPC. Like that. A lot.

Eye eye!

You'll love it, it's a Multiseat Computing Appliance. Attach it to a PC via USB, hook up a monitor, keyboard and mouse to it, load the provided software and hey presto you've got 2 PCs (subject to correct licensing) for the price of one.! (albeit a relatively low powered 2nd PC)

Gavlar is the best EduGeek handle I've seen. Gavlar! Pamlar!

Ross Brawn took over Honda renamed them Brawn, won the championship and sold the team to Mercedes for millions. 1 for 1. Plus Brawn was behind the most winning F1 driver ever during Shumacher's Ferarri years. My money is on Mercedes v Ferarri and a strong challenge from Lotus for next year.

Yep, next season it’s all about engine performance, and less about aero. So teams who build their own motors will have an immediate advantage. I’m gutted as I'm a massive Lewis fan (even moved my account to Santander...), but frankly Mercedes part financed Lewis’s entire career with McLaren and McLaren have had their chance to give him the car and the number 1 seat and they blew it. There's no such thing as friends in F1 amongst teammates. I too blame Nicole, Tom!

Setting up a new room - after kit recommendations.

Stone all-in-one is a bit messy and wobbly now and you could get better pricing from Novatech, or VeryPC. Go for hard glass monitors they're under £100 for 21" and even the cleaning lady can't damage them... -
I think the VeryPC Value Line is more or less the same price as that for the same spec in a small form factor chassis with VGA and DVDI-D (could be wrong). The Value Line (VL) is unleashed when it's all about price wars. Give 'em a whirl.

Can't compete with Dell on what? Price? Product features? Support? Any chance of expanding upon your post? I think VeryPC have come on a long way and could perhaps do a counter proposal on the board for a like for like Dell quote? I've seen quotes for their Flex All-In-One with a 21" hard glass monitor that beat the Stone Unistand with monitor and USFF PC recently which was impressive considering Stone can print replicated Windows COAs.

Oh that's so naughty.. Good to see VeryPC have a sense of humour! But who's laughing now? VeryPC have continued to grow, won international awards and are helping the UK education sector to deliver non-toxic, safe, sustainable, learning environments; which other manufacturers are doing that?

Talk to VeryPC or CPL or Millgate, their cases are the best, and we and others I know understood the price premium. Their key differentiation between other system builders is in embedded sustainability; ie they aim to make kit that has as little impact on the environment in manufacture, use and disposal. For us in education I feel responsible for providing staff and students with a safe learning environment and ensuring we buy stuff that isn't smashing the planet up. They were £25 a unit more expensive than Stone on 150 desktop PCs but they saved us £14+/- a year per PC in electricity so over the 5 year warranty period (support is flipping excellent by the way from VeryPC) the TCO is lower than Stone. We're lucky in that our school business manager likes to consider the whole life cycle value of the product not just tell us to buy whatever is cheapest. From what I could tell when I was going through the buying process and marketing spiel for the BroadLeaf, the case was designed to be used in education and was thus made with education in mind, ie; built to last. Even the power button is tamper proof and with our school logo on them the kids have a sense of pride using them. Because they cost a bit more in year one the school thought it wise to build a lesson plan around sustainability and used the BroadLeafs as an example of environmentally efficient product so the message got out to parents and the local community too; how many school IT Managers can say that a product they bought has lead to improving the lives and knowledge of their students.? Apples and Oranges though guys, but I'd have no hesitation in recommending VeryPC to you even if you weren't looking for the durability. Also and this made my Head Master smile..... VeryPC are so confident in their build quality that when we come to refresh the PCs (4 years for us), they will take the BroadLeaf back, upcycle it by renewing the spec to one we will need in the future and return the PC to us all shiny rewarranted for another 5 years, thus saving us the cost of the original premium as most of the cost is in the reduction of hazardous stuff and in the manufacture of the enviro friendly case! Winner.

Microsoft and VeryPC launched their EcoVault range which is pretty well priced? VeryPC, Green PC | Broadleaf | Greenhive | Eco PC
