Services & Resources > Computer Centre > Resource > Purchase Recommendations

The ECC''s primary computer and peripheral vendor is the Campus Computer Store (CCS). The ECC recommends that faculty and staff, who are interested in making a computer purchase, contact a CCS sales representative. The CCS representative can provide assistance in specifying a computer to meet the needs of the user.

The Engineering Computer Centre, in conjunction with the CCS, has produced an equipment purchase recommendation web page for the college. The recommendation page allows Engineering faculty and staff to view available equipment and pricing options for a few standardized desktop models. The recommended equipment has been provided at a substantial discount. There are, however a few restrictions to keep in mind when purchasng these models. It is also designed to fit with the ECC''s support model.
