Auctions Suck

In case you didn’t know this about me, I really hate auctions, and haggeling in general. The specific reason tonight relates to staying up watching the time count down on a nice dual G4 box to be killed in seconds by someone with a proxy.
Regardless of the above auctions and haggeling really do suck, but that is another story.

Hardware Suggestions

Question for the peeps. Given given a small buisness with 20 employees looking to replace 5-10 desktops a year plus a server or two which OEM would be suggested given price, warrenty and support? Remember the desktops would all be relatevely lowend and preferable come with XP and Office.
My other idea is to build everything myself and try to get a reseller deal given the kiosks we will also be distrubting but I need some price comparrisons.
And if you fondered about the kiosk comment, one of the big work projects is putting information kiosks in all the horse feed dealships in the world.

Babylon 5 Season 2 DVD

Broke down yesterday and picked up the Babylon 5 Season 2 DVD. First thing was to check the special features on the first disk which had some interviews with the cast, amazing to compare how they looked 9-8 years previous. There is an audio commentary for episode 3 Geometry of Shadows which has Bruce Boxleitner, Claudia Christian and Jerry Doyle, who played John Sheridan, Susan Ivanova, who is god, and Michael Garibaldi respectively. They really come off as a bunch of friends bullshitting about what they did years earlier.
