There are price quotes available for printing from this web site, detailing the configurations and pricing for the standard configurations. You may use these price quotes along with your requisition to the University Purchasing department to generate a purchase order. If you would like to purchase a Dell Computer for your own personal use with personal funds, please visit our Personal Purchases page for details.
Support
The UConn Co-op has been contracted by Dell Computer to provide support services for the University on a "break / fix" basis. The UConn Co-op has Dell-Certified technicians on it's staff that will be deployed to all UConn campuses for the purpose of repairing warranty hardware issues with Dell desktop or notebook computers. However the first stop for departments who are experiencing issues with Dell equipment is the University Help Desk (6-4357 or helpdesk@uconn.edu). If an issue is deemed by UITS staff to be a hardware issue, a service ticket will be generated to the UConn Co-op requesting hardware assistance. All software questions and issues will be handled directly by the Help Desk.
