My problem: My office has 3 PCs with aging components (5 years old?)
1-HP Pavilion a6353d
1-Pentium 4 1gb ram pc
1- core2quad 1gb ram pc
What I need: A cheap set up where I can read email, type word documents, make powerpoint presentations, do a little photoshop. on every computer. I'm also looking into changing from each pc running on xp to a server type system with 3 terminals. I also want to know how to remotely control them or shut them down with my android phone (over wi-fi? 3G in the Philippines is quite expensive). A chance to optimize my 3 mbps DSL connection ( but really they only give me 1.8 mbps when they really said the lower limit is 1.9 mbps. I tried complaining but nothing happens. I pay like $100 per month) Anyone know a better ISP in the Philippines?
My Budget: below $750 and use my existing components as much as possible.
Should I:
*Buy 3 celeron G1620 CPUs, 3 ASUS H61M-E mobo and 6 KINGSTON 2GB DDR3 PC1333 (KVR1333D3S8N9/2G) ram sticks (2GB*6=12GB/3=4GB per PC) or something that's more compatible with the mobo ( I can't find the memory QVL for the mobo). 3 new windows 7 OS and office software.
*buy a new mobo, ram sticks and DIY water cooling system compatible with the my current CPUs so that I could OC all 3 pcs?
*buy a high spec system and make a host pc with windows server os and 3 terminals?
what do I do?
I'm open to suggestions.
