That's a great question. My server was about<br>
<br>
$650 <br>
<br>
It's way overpowered, which is the way I like it. If you want it's exact specs, it's on the Newbie Wiki, I believe. If they aren't I can pull the bill. The system was put together by my husband, and he handled the setup as well. So, being generous, it took him an hour to assemble the server, and about 2 hours to install Koha. As soon as he had handled the Linux part of things - otherwise known as the processes I am too foggy to do myself - I set my parameters. That took a while, because at the time, I only had the migration documentation to help me. I'd say the process took me the better part of the weekend. Since then, it's just been inputting records.<br>

We've upgraded once. It took my husband literally five minutes. We'll say for the sake of argument that that is a billable hour. So, we've got 3 hours. The fees for on site support vary drastically.<br>

A couple of ballpark figures might be <br>

I too would love some ball park numbers. If I wanted Koha to have a function that didn't exist, how much per hour would I need to pay to make it happen? Obviously, I would also need a rough estimate of how many hours a project would take, but estimates for that can often be found if one wades through the to do lists. I don't have much money for this now, but if I found money at the end of a fiscal year, it would be great to have a quote waiting in the wings.<br>
