12. Cost Effective Routes for I/O
Devices
 Whether the use of a I/O device is for the office
secretary, the store manager or the home
entertainment buff and gamer. Input and Output
devices no matter their purpose have a number a
routes that these users can go to get the devices
for better than average prices. Most of the data
that I collected I obtain from browsing BestBuy’s
website.

13. -Home Users-
Home Users can purchase a television with HDMI
inputs so that the T.V. can double as a monitor
as well.
Insigna 26” flat screen HD
television with 2 HDMI inputs
$522.99
LG 24” widescreen flat-panel
LCD monitor
$499.99

14. Continued…
Home users can also purchase in bundles instead
of items individually. Such as a Mouse and
Keyboard bundle where you get both together
instead of buying them by themselves.

15. -Office Use (Secretary)-
Along with the home use the secretary as well could
take advantage of the keyboard and mouse
combo but along with that for document use in
the office she could look for all-in-one printer,
scanner and fax machine.
When compared to the
cheapest scanner, laser printer
and fax whose prices follow:
$75.99, $125.99 and $59.99.
The all-in-one is a much
better deal and price for office
use.

16. Store Manager
Store mangers if handy and price conscious would
probably think to look for the best prices on
equipment needed. If they were to look on the
internet for a new Bar-Code Scanner then they
would find there are quite a few bargains to be
found.
Scanners can be
found online from
$15.00 to $500.
