Rwl Markets

I have nothing bad to say about RWL… only praise. Family owned business, all of which are hard-​working nice people. Products are clean, tested and I challenge you to find a cheaper price. Mainly sell Dell PCs and servers so they are a FANTASTIC resource for resellers and consultants like myself. Keep up the good work Jaime.

Tucked in the third row of a big strip of generic office/​warehouse units along 183, Office One is the retail arm of RWL Markets, and can’t be beat for getting a decent working computer at rock bottom prices.
To be clear, I’m not talking about quad-​core gaming systems, or video processing workhorses, or ultra-​slim fashion computers for impressing the hoi-​polloi at Austin Java. (Though I bet they could track something down for a price.)
A working computer might be more along the lines of a laptop to use for surfing Unilocal or
in the living room, or a clean internet-​ready laptop to take into countries where it or your data might be confiscated. They’ve got sturdy PCs to configure to give to grandma for playing tetris, and for forwarding email rumors about politicians. They’ve got stacks of rack-​mounted servers for throwing a flavor of linux on, should you need some test hardware and your boss doesn’t want to negotiate for thousands of dollars with CDW.
Two years ago I picked up a Dell laptop for about $ 120, and its still running, and this year I got family and friends another Dell laptop and 2 ‘home’ compaq PCs, each modest machines well under $ 200 including a licensed version of Windows and restore media. I’ve only taken advantage of their 90 day warranty once, when one of the PC’s had a bad CD drive in it. Jaimie had one of his guys replace it while I waited with no questions asked.
Honestly, these guys have the hustle and the low prices that Discount had long ago. They’re dealing primarily with HP/​Compaq equipment, and they’re also retailing spare parts, monitors, and printers when they have some there. Their stock varies, so it might be worth a call ahead to see if they’ve got the hardware you want, or to see if they can put together what you need for the price you want.
