For years, I used an Emachine for my home pc needs.  It served its purpose for about one year, but as the years went on (approximately four) its operation grew slower and slower and more inefficient.  My son wanted to play games on the computer, but couldn't because the system could not handle the graphics and video.  Also, I wanted to store music files and pictures downloaded from my digital camera, but my hard drive was too small to accommodate those items.  I needed to get a new PC, but did not have a good enough credit history (bankruptcy filing) to get financing at any of the big name stores.  I knew that I could afford payments on a new PC, but no store was willing to give me credit. 

So, I did my research and discovered Purchasing Power for federal employees.  I was delighted to know that there is no credit check required for a purchase and that the payments come directly out of my paycheck.  With the no financing, I do not wind up paying more for the computer than the actual purchase price and that is wonderful!  I got an up to date HP pc, with a flat screen monitor included.  I love my new computer; it's fast and has all of the latest operating software.  I really like the service Purchasing Power provides and plan to use it in the future to buy a new range.
