headerCustom Build Your Computer

Apple and Dell now allow students and faculty to custom build a system at an educational discounted price. Whether you are a Mac user or a PC user, you will be able to configure your own computer to best suit your needs. You can then either order directly from the manufacturer or through the Computer Purchase Program. Please don't hesitate to give us a call or drop us a line if you have questions while customizing your system.

Apple Users!
To place an order, we will need a $200 deposit. Payment is due in full on receipt of your system.


To begin, simply visit the Apple Store for Education.

Click on the Education tab at the top of the page. On the next page, select Higher Ed Staff, Faculty, and Students under Shop for Yourself. The Apple Store will ask you to locate your College. After you have chosen Lewis & Clark as your college and logged in, you will be able to custom-build any Macintosh on the page.

Once you have configured your computer, click on the Save For Later button at the bottom of the page. Log in with Apple if you are prompted to do so. Make sure you note the Web Order Number assigned to your configuration, which can be found above the items you've selected. Then, select Email, and email your saved order to cpp@lclark.edu. Be sure to include your name and email address in the custom message box.

We will then contact you to confirm pricing before we place the order.

To custom build a Dell computer, go to Dell's Online Store for Higher Education. Follow the prompts to select and configure a system. Be aware that these prices do not include our standard mark-up or any promotional discounts from Dell.

After you have chosen and built the system that you want, click the Save E-Quote button.

Enter your personal information. List Debbie Keller as your buyer, cpp@lclark.edu as the buyer's email, and your name and contact information in the comments box.

You may also mail, fax, or email the E-Quote along with your completed order form to the Computer Showroom. In order for us to look up your order, we need to know the email address of the person who built the order as well as the E-Quote Number, so don't forget to write it down!
