Well, a friend of mine who runs a small contracting company has finally decided to put a deposit down on a new office space.
He has come to me asking for help; building a few computers for the office, as well as setting up an intranet- so to speak.
The main goal here is cost efficiency, so bear with me.
**Two-three computers, for light office work, I am a little out of date with hardware, so I just need a suggestion for a -real- cost effective CPu, that will handle light CAD work. Possibly a Mobo suggestion, if you know of a great pair.
**The next major focus is having a network; as a means to keep cost low, I suggested, he simply purchases the same package as you'd get in your home. In our area, Verizon offers a Modem/Router that handles, I believe 4 land lines and broadcasts wireless.
For some reason He believed he needed a server, and I told him unless he were hosting his website locally, I didn't see the need in dropping another 600$
Am I pretty accurate in my findings?
Furthermore, he has a desire for the future to access his office files remotely from his home. What would be the best way of going about this?
Thanks for Any Assistance
