Fingerprint reader recommendation

I'd like recommendations for fingerprint readers. We need to have mulitple users log on/off to a single pc. We want this to replace having to use windows user name and pw to log on to domain. We'll have around 300 users on 200 pc's/laptops. I want something that is easy to use, reliable, $75 or less. I prefer the type where it scans the entire fingerprint at once, not the kind where you have to slide your finger across it.

Thanks

Unless you are running a military organization, fingerprint scanning is usually overkill.

You are buying yourself another high maintenance item that will be a cause of a lot of downtime and extra work.

They are good for a single user protecting their data from others, but not so good in an environment where a lot of different people are logging into the same machine.

They are certainly not at the point where a security audit would pass if you were using them without also using the user/password standard login...

I'm guessing each computer will get its own fingerprint reader, so I am also guessing you mean < than $75 per computer.

I just got the MS Fingerprint reader and the first thing it said is it doesn't work for user name/pw to log on to a domain. Are there any that work for domain login?
