Computer Solutions with Linux - a winning combination
sales - both new computers and components
towers - desktops
These pre-designed and custom models are all built in house. This eliminates all the unnecessary bloatware that comes with factory built computers. Add a Linux operatinjg system such as Linux Mint, Ubuntu, or Ubuntu Studio, and you have a winning combination that won't disappoint. Our sales page will give you an idea of what these packages include. All these new computers are built with top name brand and quality components. Used or refurbished components are never used. With the Linux OS, these computers have no bloatware (tracking, monitoring, and privacy invasion) on them. With Windows these computers would have bloatware (tracking, monitoring, and privacy invasion) coming from Windows itself plus any other proprietary software you may install. To see more about this privacy invasion go to Linux - Proprietary Control
laptops - all in ones & more
Laptops and All IN Ones are ordered from the Manufacturer via our wholesale supplier. Most of these will ship with the latest version of Windows. Most of these can run LINUX, but will not ship that way. They would require an after-market conversion. Some models ship LINUX ready. Meaning they may have a free version of DOS on them but nothing else.
Used - Pre-owned
Ocasionally we will have Used / Pre-Owned items on hand for sale. Such as: computers, monitors, speakers, keyboards, mice, etc. All these have been checked out and repaired if necessary and found to be in good working order. As always there are no warranties, and everything may not be as one would expect from an brand new item. In other words as is. Prices are very reasonable for these items. You can find these items on our sales page under Used - Pre Owned - PC's Monitors Etc.
