Yes, the list is endless, but I was trying to take an angle from the user "problem" point of view. In my experience, some departments have hardly any problems with (what is essentially) PC-based kit, whilst others may always be "fiddling about" with it (and I bet this applies where you are)!
Robert is right ... the "virus" problems will be self-inflicted wounds (that is, by the user)!
Regarding repairs, it sounds like you need to get down to the
souk more often, Mate! The up-side of of all this is (I suppose) that PC parts are so cheap that you can basically afford to change the whole thing!
I know where there is at least one shed-full of old PC's. From the bean counter's perspective, they have zero value (and may even represent a liability - as in, "costly to dispose of"). I'll bet that any of the parts you need will be in there somewhere. Pity you're not in the UK!
