Hi-
At my office we will be needing 7 new work stations. I came up with a possible build. Please let me know if it looks good or what you would change.
It will be used for basic word documents, internet work, moderate business applications etc. Keep in mind this is VERY budget orientated. The total for the current setup is ~$335 without ship/tax.
CPU: E2180 or E5200? Will it be a significant difference for only using above mentioned applications?
Mobo: MSI P31 NEO-F I have a E1200 paired with a MSI P35 NEO-F working great. I'm sure the P31 would be just the same? Has GREAT price
PSU/CASE: Antec 300/Antec Earthwatts 500W - Both solid and great price on newegg combo.
H.D.: Western Digital 160GB SATA - cheapest sata I found, also don't need anymore space.
RAM: Corsair XMS2 2X1gb - cheapest I found on newegg. Should work great
GPU: MSI 8400gs - nothing special, should be almost overkill for any video/pictures/java applications etc.. $30 fyi
CD-Drive: - Already have
HSF: Stock Intel from Retail box
Theral compoundm: MX-2 Already have
I am mainly concerned about which CPU to choose and if the MSI P31 will work flawlessly for either CPU choice.
Input appreciated!
