Every day new information is coming out about how new technology is hitting the market for computers.  We have always been fascinated by the idea of ever shrinking computers and putting more powerful computers into ever smaller cases.  The most recent computer to make the news is the Plug Servers.  These servers are literally plug and play computers that you can use as a file server right in your own home.  If you are more interested in a cloud approach then you can use one of these for that as well.  These are not going to be the most robust servers like your more standard Microsoft Business Class Servers or Home Servers but these give users an option to have a server when they don’t need something so large.

Geeks.com shares with us a great article about the new styles of these tiny little plug in computers.  Take a look and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Don’t forget that the first month in August is always tax free weekend at your retail stores. This includes most computers and other electronic equipment. The idea is to help lower the cost for things that are necessary for back to school. Please check out the link from the NC Department of Revenue for more information about what is included in tax free weekend and what does not qualify. This may be a way to find good deals on laptops, desktops, and other computer equipment. Just remember most stores know it is tax free weekend so they may only have small quantities available in store and if you need to special order, tax free may not apply.

Good luck and happy hunting.
