any thoughts?

I am building a computer for my parents business, just wondering what everyone thinks of what I have picked out.

Not sure about the wireless network card for the pc cause I think you'll be faster hooking it straight up to the router, but everything looks good. What kind of business is it if you don't mind?

 

Well The wireless is for a second Desktop in a different room and a laptop in the basement. It is a Oilfield Maintenance business, pretty much just for books and email. This is how much they wanted to spend so I guess it should do the trick...

 

Business ???????????

It would grace most livingrooms but I doubt it would stand the rigours of much business use.

Several of my clients have small business running cad, light aircraft design, hotels, drilling, web development etc. I don't have any that need 7.1 audio.

I suggest you need to revise your backup strategy, perhaps (at least) a second hard drive.

The Logitech and Linksys hardware won't last, IMO.

Didn't notice a printer/fax/scanner.


XP pro is agood choice, Vista will give too much down time.

Padams asks a very good question. Why a wireless network card?

 

I doubt it would stand the rigours of much business use. - Quickbooks, Office & E-mail.

I don't have any that need 7.1 audio. - They requested a good sound card

I suggest you need to revise your backup strategy, perhaps (at least) a second hard drive. - They have an external hd they back up once a week.


Didn't notice a printer/fax/scanner. - Already have these


Padams asks a very good question. Why a wireless network card? - For the second pc to access the internet, the second pc is in a different part of the house.
