TY for the help :D
 
looks good to me... BUT, you can cut the hard drive in half a save some money... you could use the old keyboard and mouse they have and save a couple of extra bucks...
 
I thought of that, but the other computers are going to be used, in an extra room for basic internet, so I can't keep the keyboard and mouse ><. Also, They need more room than 80 GB, they're running Financial apps that take up too much HDD space for a 80 GB (one is running out of room with one)
BTW ty for the quick reply
 
Thin client is where you set up a server with everything you need to work with, then set up machines that connect to the server and use the server for EVERYTHING - even the desktop. It requires fairly low system requirements since most of the real work is done by the server.
 
Uh...I don't really know how to set that kind of think up, and this is just a small business (the reps buy their own computers and other stuff), so I think i'll just stick to two computers :D.
Any other opinions on the components?
 
I have another question, If I buy a SATA2 HDD, will it work with the SATA1 sockets on the MoBo. I know if it can it'll drop down to SATA1 (150 mb/s) speed, but that would still be faster than the IDE and it costs the same (i found that SATA1 cost too much ><)

The one i would get instead of the one above would be:
