Mods: feel free to move if needed, I wasn't sure where else to post this.
Ok, so I'm setting up a small business client (less than 10 PC's). He wants a wireless router, I'm thinking the Linksys b/g (non speed boost model, it's much cheaper), unless there's some reason I shouldn't. Also stacked with the Linksys 16-port switch. No big deal here unless someone suggests otherwise.
Now, onto the real issues...I need a mono laser printer and a couple of inkjets (update: he now wants a MFC with Fax and a Color Laser!). I was thinking HP, but after reading some of the reviews for their current products, well...I'm rather put off. I need units that won't break the bank, yet are business ready. The Canon MP780 MFC looks good, as does the Brother 5170 series for the mono laser. The color laser on the other hand, well...reviews aren't too nice about the lower priced (read: affordable) models, I would love to find a review on the Oki C5200n. Color laser NEEDS to have very good color quality.
I also need to find software I can backup a Server 2003 machine to a USB or Firewire hard drive that can make an exact image of the server's drive with scheduling, but doesn't cost $1000 like Acronis True Image Server Edition does. Totally out of line with their price on that...
Thanks in advance for any ideas
This project has really taken on a life of its own and it's driving me crazy.
