General Hardware Comments
We do software, not hardware
(normally). But we offer the hardware recommendations and opinions listed below because we are
opinionated. And it benefits our user base if we all use the same
equipment. The hardware techs don’t have
to bill you to become familiar with your cheap-ass equipment when they are
already familiar with the equipment recommended below.
You should seek out a reliable
source of hardware support for repair, maintenance, and replacement. Consider if this source of support will be
available during weekends and during periods of crisis. We list some vendors.
If you find a good vendor, let us know.
We also offer opinions and recommendations
for OPS, Other People’s Software (i.e. not MONDO CONDO).
Our recommendations are designed for
management companies with three or more computers and are not necessarily
appropriate for home-based hot-rod gaming machines. Our recommendations are primarily for running
and backing up the MONDO CONDO and Microsoft Office software in a cost
effective manner. Our recommendations
are gained from experience (sometimes painful) and from dropping loads of money
on testing various hardware solutions.
