RE: Good Refurb Deals (re: refurbished IBM products)

Shhh...you can';t give away secrets like this to the list!

Really though, the best deals I have found through the years has been the 
clearance rack and refurbs out there.  Most often the warrantees are 
identical. All of the computer companies have the programs, the toughest is 
finding out whats available and getting a hold of it.  The best program I 
have dealt with has been Micron.  The fax you a weekly indexed list of 
available machines and they ship them out almost immediatly. (I know this 
is the TP list, but we all eventually need something to clutter our desks). 
 CDW, who btw moved to a much nicer facility, seems to have a regular flow 
of TP stuff in the showroom, last time I was there they hade Dock 1's on 
the shelf. The prices were ok, but higher than the ones discussed here.
