Question: You are in a very exciting time of your life! You have decided to start a new business that you have located in a small storefront in the neighborhood strip mall. This business will service small businesses in your community by providing computer system setup and configuration services along with network implementation and troubleshooting services. You have hired two individuals to serve as your consultants. One is a computer administrator and the other is a network administrator.
It is now time to go on a shopping spree to purchase your office equipment. Since you have received a generous donation from a sponsor, money is no object. Use your favorite browser (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) and research computer systems and other equipment that you feel would be necessary to start your business. Essentially, you need to identify any equipment that you will need to set up your new office.
You can visit the Web site of your favorite electronics store or review one or more of the following sites by using your browser and searching for your desired equipment.
• Office Depot
• Tiger Direct
• Frys
• Amazon
• Best Buy
Prepare 2-3 pages of content in a Word document describing the equipment that you have selected. How much will it cost to purchase three computers? Describe each from the perspective of computer platform (desktop, laptop, tablet, notebook, or other), the amount of memory, the processor, storage, etc. Would you want SATA devices? How about a RAID array? Explain the reasons that you chose those systems.
Prepare your work in a Word document using Times New Roman 12 point font, with valid scholarly resources and in-text citations and references in APA style.
