Hey guys. I'm starting a small business that handles mail orders for major universities around the U.S., and I'm currently building a PC for this. I was just wondering what type of CPU you guys think would fit this best, thanks.
 
Pentium D 930 is a really good deal. what applications are you going to use exactly? sounds like you might just want a lot of ram and not a lot of processing power... and a big hard drive. say a 200-320gb hard drive? also sounds like integrated graphics will do fine...
is this going to be a server? technically its not a "PC" or "personal computer" then
if its a server you'll want some huge hard drives, and maybe you'll want to set up a mirrored raid to ensure your info is secure... or Redundant like the R in RAID
 
The business is ran from my own house, I should have said a "really small" business, haha. It will just be my own computer, no servers. Yeah, I was thinking 1024 RAM, and maybe a dual-core CPU since I'm going to be doing multiple tasks a lot. Is that CPU good for doing multiple applications, such as Excel, Word, TurboTax, and such?
 
yea the Intel mentioned above is good for multitasking and 1 GB of RAM is enough i think
it's not "huge" business i think you're gonna be fine .

depends on the degree of the multitasking, my celeron D worked fine going on internet, itunes, aim, ms word, and playing a movie. Remember, its a small business, can't be that much multitasking.

do you even know what a server mean, what if it is an application server, or web server, or proxy, or print server. All could run without a hard drive at all

Regardless in this case your best deal will found at a place like dell, who cater for these types of machines. A custom build does not sound like the ticket here.
