I work for a homeless day center called hope faith ministries.
We just bought a 50,000 square foot buildilng. and we are building a computer lab for the homeless to work on resume's and interviews and other training purposes. My goal is to build about 20 functional good working cheap computers. no gaming, video editing, photoshoping. I think i am going to go with an atom N330 + Nvidia ion + 4gb ram and this case
last thing i need is a hard drive. I was hoping you guys could give me a recommendation.
here are my priorities #1 Cost #2 Performance and a very distant #3 storage. a 32gb hard drive would work just fine. i was thinking ssd. you guys have any recommendations.

honestly that seems wasteful for what you're doing, just grab some refurb boxes like this:

if they don't have 20, theres comparable ones like this:

for word processing and whatnot, you do not need more power, and don't bother with Atom, given that those P4's will probably be faster anyways

just saw this:

probably not a bad deal, OS X, monitor, more storage, $400 a piece, might not be a bad idea either
