Well, normally for client builds I wouldn't come here, however, I haven't been "in" on hardware for a few months and I know there is a lot of newer stuff on the market. I'm supposed to submit a few computer system proposals to one of my old clients as our small town (3,000 people)'s fire dept. got a grant for a new computer system (not running any emergency services or anything like that!). They'll be using it to file some online forms, type up documents, mess with pictures from local events...all that stuff.
It needs to be a complete system.
Monitor (19-22")
Speakers (nothing fancy. they can just be a one-pair set or 2.1)
Keyboard & mouse
Actual computer.
I've got computer cases at home that I just bought (a rosewill model, I believe). I haven't looked at the quality but assume we don't need to buy a computer case (unless you can find something VERY good for under $40 with free shipping).
I'm thinking AMD on this to get them the most bang for their buck. On board video (absolutely no need for a graphics card), and probably 4GB of RAM. I have an idea of what should go in it, but I'd like your feedback.
I need to submit a few different price points. Maybe one total system that costs $6-700 and another that costs $700-1,000 or so. That way I can explain the differences between the two systems for them.
Any input is great, guys! Thanks!
