Most of our orders are from repeat customers. Parts-People began as a small company 20 years ago in an extra bedroom of my house. I had saved a small sum of money to purchase some computer parts and began selling them on eBay. After a few months I realized that people needed a place to go for Dell parts so I began building our website. Since we are located in Austin, Texas, where Dell.com was founded, I was able to set up a solid supply line with Dell. From the start, we focused on customer satisfaction and selling quality parts. We have grown a lot since 2002 but still and always the customer will come first. You will find that we go above and beyond with every order and offer free resources and support before and after the sale.

over 2 million Dell parts sold
Things have been relatively quiet from the Dell camp in the wake of last year’s big buyout negotiations, but don’t take that to mean that the IT giant has been idle. Most recently, they have spearheaded a campaign to bring technology to developing areas lacking the electricity needed to power classrooms that would provide invaluable computer-based educational opportunities to underserved populations.
The majority of the solar-powered schools we’ve seen pop up lately, have served developed communities in an effort to reduce environmental impact and, of course, generate lower electric bills. Dell has taken the solar-powered initiative one step further and is currently working in collaboration with a number of non-profits including LEAP Africa, SHAWCO, and Computer Aid International to bring portable, solar-powered computer labs to students in remote areas. Issues like poverty and political unrest have kept power grids from expanding into parts of Nigeria, South Africa, and countless other developing parts of the world, creating a substantial technology gap for the youth of these areas. Dell hopes to close this gap and provide training in information and communications technology (ICT) skills by utilizing solar-powered classrooms.
Dell’s solar-powered classroom, or the Zubabox, is actually a re-purposed shipping container converted into a classroom and powered entirely by solar panels. Energy-efficient products, along with the solar panels, allow these classrooms to function even at night. A cloud-based arrangement provided by Wyse cloud computing technology ensures that the computer lab runs as efficiently as possible. According to the Zubabox specifications, the container has a peak generation capacity of 700 watts to 1,400 watts, depending on the configuration - that is enough to provide six to twelve hours of consecutive use. A ruggedized OptiPlex server and 10 Dell Wyse thin clients run Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Server software, while three to six solar panels and batteries, along with an inverter, create a nanogrid to power the workstations. (Just for a frame of reference, these thin clients require about 3 watts of electricity to run; your typical PC uses 150 watts.)
The solar-powered Learning Labs concept was initially launched in 2013 and is currently nearing the end of an experimental phase in Nigeria, with plans to install four upcoming labs in South Africa. In addition to simply providing a mobile classroom, Dell believes that the labs could eventually serve as economic hubs for communities without reliable access to power or Internet. Not only are they economical, they are surprisingly durable. The life expectancy of the thin client technology is about nine years, compared to the average three- to five-year lifespan of a typical PC. Even more impressive, the solar panels used power the labs themselves have an estimated lifespan of 25 years.
