Article Abstract:

Many firms install and utilize computer systems without knowing the overall operating costs of maintaining such systems. This lack of knowledge may eventually lead to a drain in resources if financial managers do not put more consideration on the issue of overall operating costs when purchasing computer hardware. Traditionally, the purchase of PC hardware has been governed by four factors that include product quality and reliability, the manufacturer's track record, compatibility with existing equipment and initial cash outlay.
