This can be very hard to gauge.  I have found people who will do the same
quality work and one will charge 40/hr and the other 120/hr.  I wouldn't
necessarily look at the price, rather the type of relationship you can build
with this person/company.  This I have found is the most important aspect of
consulting from my experience.  Ask yourself this question, what if the
consultant you find does excellent work, charges only $40/hr, but has an
attitude that is unbearable to say the least?  Is it still worth it?

What is the going rate for general IT consultation work.  Duties would
include the very basics and could include major work such as
installing/configuring new hardware/software systems.  Just a general
reasonable hourly rate is kind of what I am looking for.

Thanks
