Need Help For Small Business

Hello All

I will soon be purchasing new hardware for my father's small business.

I will need 1 Server and 3 workstations. The server need to run NT/2000 and MS SQL Server. The workstations need to run NT/2000. The ONLY application that the workstations will be accessing is a custom developed Win32 application written using Visual Basic 5.0. At most, there will be 4 simultaneous users hitting the Server.

Does anybody have any advice as to where I can get a good deal on these 4 machines. I have all necessary software. Anybody have any comments or suggestions?

I am located in the Greater Los Angeles area in case that helps.

Here is what I have in mind:
SERVER:
Good CPU (Pentium 800+)
256 MB RAM
Good Hard Disk (Probably a single SCSI so I can upgrade to a RAID setup later)
No Monitor
NO O.S.
CD-ROM
No Sound
Good 10/100 NIC
No Office Suite
KB + Mouse

WORKSTATIONS:
Decent CPU (Pentium? Celeron? Athlon? Duron?)
128 MB RAM
Standard Hard Disk (~10GB)
No Monitor
Windows NT 4.0
No CDROM
No Sound
Good 10/100 NIC
No Office Suite
KB + Mouse:|😕
 
I would really suggest that you browse through some online stores, such as
NewEgg.com for ther hardware, and Mushkin for the RAM (They currently have free shipping for the continental US) Also check out Price Watch to find the best deals on the hardware.
