Where I once worked, they obviously had a "deal" with some higher-ups brother-in-law so a stick of RAM that was $30 from OWC or even Best Buy cost the company $100 because they "had" to buy it from the "preferred" supplier. I got turned down a lot when I requested RAM and upgrades for the couple hundred PCs I looked after. Imagine, running XP with 256 MB of RAM, because there wasn't money in the budget to upgrade. After a while I just shook my head at the foolishness and let things be.
