Mark Shaw of HighwayT provides advice on purchasing technology for non-profits, recommending buying processors, video cards, and LCDs first according to the 20% rule. Equipment should have a 3-5 year lifecycle and commercial products last longer than consumer items. Refurbished equipment can save money with a 1-year warranty while new items have 3-year warranties and cost more. Contact information is provided for HighwayT's Detroit and Lansing offices.
