If you were starting a small business how much would you spend on a new computer?
Looking for a price range that most low income business owners would feel comfortable with and not sacrifice function for price. Most of the business owners I will be dealing with have no access to loans or grants for small businesses.

I ran a self proprietiorship window installation business... I felt I only needed the comp 4 a few templated things like a company stationery, a few marketing booklets 2 be made for ongoing clients 2 promte the business. The comp was (600-700 dollars and a software suite install was about 600 dollars) this included picture it publishing 4 marketing booklets 2 potential general contractors and also was good 4 biz cards, evelope printing with logo for return address, pre-printing marketing ads 4 sending out to a local mass mailer. I would also suggest also Quickbooks 4 accounting and you should be set.
700+600+250= $1550/comp.. if you plan 2 have a few comps installed through a gateway or router than times by the amount you need and add a little 4 the extra routering products and possibly extra 4 installation if not planning 2 do yourself.
I would definitely buy a used computer with some decent specs on Craigslist. Companies have been downsizing for a few years now and have tons of extra computers. My company has bought excellent computers for $100 each including monitors through craigslist. Save your capital and buy used if you're a startup.
I wouldn't spend more than about $700.00 - $800.00 when you're just starting out in your small business. You can always upgrade as your business grows. A computer at this price should get you through your first 3 - 5 years of business and maybe even more. My first computer lasted me 10 years of business.

It's been my experience that almost every business owner or former business owner I've ever met is a Republican or more likely to be a Republican. Admittedly, this experience is somewhat limited, but I've known many people, many of whom I liked, who were business owners and were Republican.In the...
