Extreme Cost Savings

Although our public-access computers can be used as standard single-user computers, our SLIM technology allows up to six users to run on a single computer at the same time. Each user has their own monitor, keyboard, mouse, and optional sound and USB slot. Hardware costs are significantly reduced because only one computer needs to be purchased rather than six. The electricity savings from operating a Groovix GK-6 versus 6 single-user computers can pay for the system in three years!
