Ok, I've been asked to spec out a project for a (really) small company. Just wondering what your recommendations would be.

3 business computers:

2 running only proprietary Point Of Sale software (only requires a 486 processor :D )

1 running office 2k3 and holding DB files for the other two to access.

No high end needs at all....

What type of system would you build in this situation?

I hate to build a system that is overkill, but on the other side of the coin I hate building a system that doesn't have built in longevity.
 
I was tending to lean in the same direction, thanks Ash.

Anyone have a recommendation on mobo?
 
I'd stay clear of SiS, but given the requirements VIA and integrated video would be GOOD things. I'd slap a good Intel NIC in that server though.

As far as the server goes...if it goes down, or they have to wait for parts, how big a problem will it be? Just because the demand on it is low, doesn't mean you might not need to build in some redundancy.
 
redundancy is a good point. placing the DB files on a seperate server would be a good idea. And makes back up almost painless.
