Ordering Computers/Laptops/Monitors

For help in determining which configuration will best suit you, please contact your college or area's technical support staff.

If you do not have a college/area technical staff, contact the Help Desk at 216-687-5050.

SPECIAL NOTE Regarding CD/DVD drives:  To respond to market and user demands for lighter laptops, HP and other vendors have removed the CD/DVD drive from many laptops.  None of the laptops we provide here at 老澳门六合彩开奖记录资料 have a CD/DVD drive.  You can order this as an add-on at purchase time or purchase an external drive from a third party.  In either case, the drive will be external to the laptop. 

Determine which model you would like by visiting and click on PC Purchasing.  There you will see all models, features and pricing (authentication is required).

You have two options when ordering a computer through the University's PC Procurement Program:

  1. You can order your own computer from our new Easy ticketing system.
  2. You can contact the IS&T Help Desk; instructions are below.

The advantages to creating your own request for purchase are:

  • Your request bypasses the Help Desk and goes directly to an ordering queue.
  • You will have a shopping cart to fill, indicating all prices and options available for purchase.
  • From the Self Service Portal (easy.csuohio.edu) you will be able to see all open Incidents (Help Status Link) and Requests (My Order Status Link). 

To get started placing your own order: go to easy.csuohio.edu , sign in, and click on Service Catalog.  You will see links where you can order PC/Laptops or Monitors.

To place the order through the Help Desk: send the following information to help.desk@csuohio.edu or call 216-687-5050 with the following information:
