Hi Wanaride,<br><br>To me, PC brands don't matter much as it's just the branding. Components within like hard disk, RAM, CPU, graphics card etc, these are not brand specific. Example, if you buy a HP or Dell etc, the RAM, harddisk, CPU is not manufactured by them. Harddisk will be like from Western Digital or Toshiba or Seagate, RAM from another manufacturer, CPU will be from Intel or AMD, and then you have the graphics card, Radeon, NVidia, Intel etc, but not manufactured by Dell or HP.<br>I'm sure you get the drift :)<br><br>Oh I forgot to mention in my previous post. Get the SSHD hard disk. They are significantly lower cost than a SSD but a tiny bit more than the usual spinning HDD. SSHD are a mix breed of the spinning HDD and SSD: a bit of SSD, more of spinning HDD. Net: value for money.<br><br>I do not have a PC service contract. By His grace, things are going well so far. :)<br><br>I am based in Singapore. I contacted Microsoft just this year for MS Office for non-profit organisation and they hooked me up with Techsoup (http://www.techsoup.org). For me it's TechsoupAsia, but for you it's likely Techsoup :).<br>Our church is a registered non profit organisation and we were able to show proof to TechsoupAsia. We get heavy discounts. I can't tell where you're based, but you may want to take the same route. You will notice that they also have refurbished computers (TechsoupAsia does not have refurbished computers, but Techsoup does).<br><br>So, we are now using MS Office officially.<br><br>As OLP is freeware, you may want to consider just trying it out with OpenOffice and see how it works for you. At most I would imagine the trial run will set you back about 4 hours in total (downloading, installing, creating a sample slide or 2, getting familiar with OpenLP etc). It's worth a shot. I love OpenLP. It's just awesome!<br><br>OLP can support 2 or more external devices. Example, a desktop (not laptop) connected to VGA monitor via VGA cable and HDMI cable to projector. So yes, it does support multiple external monitors.<br><br>To end, please note that I am not the developer of OpenLP, nor affiliated to them. I am just a user as you are. So the comments and recommendations made are purely my own and not from OLP developers whose views may differ from mine. :)<br>
