Computer and Peripherals Price List

CTIS has partnerships with several vendors to provide top quality computer products, prompt service & repair, and discounted pricing for the best possible value to the Purdue Calumet community.

Currently, CTIS fully supports the HP computers currently being purchased through CDWG, as well as computers purchased in the past through MPC Computer Corporation. These computers are built to CTIS' specifications and contain genuine Intel and name brand components. They have been fully tested by CTIS staff for compatibility, performance, and reliability. CTIS will also maintain and repair these computers should any problem arise.* Computers purchased through outside vendors will only receive minimal support from CTIS.*

If you are wanting to purchase new computers for your office or unit, please submit a service request specifying the number of computers and any special requirements. Price quotes are available here, for desktops and laptops.
