We can order in other capacity SSD's if requested. There will be a delay as it gets shipped to us.

The option to get a monitor without a desktop request is near the bottom of this form.

Desktops

A desktop comes with a Core i3 or better processor, 8GB of RAM, and 120GB or larger hard drive. Depending on our inventory, also a regular monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Mention in the "Additional comments" if you need wireless (WiFi) connectivity as our desktops don't have a wireless solution built in.

You will need an operating system in order to install any programs and use the computer. The option for "No Operating System" means that you intend to install your own.
