Microcomputer Order Center

12 Willard Building, University Park, PA 16802


As a service of Penn State and a division of the CAC, the Microcomputer Order Center (MOC) sells computer systems, peripherals and hundreds of software packages at low, academic prices. This service is available only to full-time students, faculty and staff of Penn State.

The MOC is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A full list of products is available on our web page at http://moc.cac.psu.edu. Feel free to call us at 814-865-2100 (800-251-9281 in PA) or send e-mail to moc@psu.edu.

Computers and peripherals offered by the MOC have been tested and evaluated to ensure that they can function in the Penn State computing environment.

Eudora Pro 4 Software Reminder

Eudora Pro 4.0 can be purchased from the MOC on CD-ROM for only $4.67. This single CD can be installed on multiple student, faculty, staff and/or departmental machines without the need to purchase additional licenses.

Note: You can also download Eudora Pro for free from the following CAC web page: http://ftp.cac.psu.edu/access/cd/

Academic Pricing

Educational discounts are offered to Penn State by the manufacturers, and because Penn State is a nonprofit institution, these savings are passed along to the academic community. In fact, many of our products are priced below the academic list price.

Consulting & Evaluation

Several products are set up for hands-on demonstration in the MOC's System Evaluation Lab in 12 Willard Building. If you have questions about which hardware, software or accessory is right for you, call or stop by and talk with one of MOC's non-commission consultants.

If the MOC does not currently carry something you need, please ask.

Apple On-Line Ordering

The MOC is pleased to announce the availability of on- line ordering for Apple computers, monitors, and printers. Both Penn State departmental orders and personal orders can now be placed directly on- line with Apple at their education web site: http://www.apple.com/education/store.

Shopping on- line with Apple gives you:

The MOC will continue to provide pre-sales consulting and will have Apple demonstration hardware available in our Systems Evaluation Lab.
