Hi Guys

I am looking for a PC for a Restaurant here is what I need:

- Needs to be compact in size
- needs to be able to run 24/7 or with short amounts of downtime
- having low power consumption would be awesome
- needs to be able to operate on 2 screens in 1080p via HDMI, movies or HD streaming mainly
- built in wifi would be great

Right now I have around 300 USD for it, no HDD required as I have a spare 32GB SSD.

Which you failed to mention in your OP. I wrote that after trying to figure out how you thought you' would install an OS on 32GB SSD and make it useful for other work. So now I will tell you that you're doomed. And if your scheme involves having to buy Windows, that would leave you with roughly #200 for the components.

I suggest you look around on the Dell site. From time to time one may be lucky enough to get a low-end, $300 PC on there.

I wrote I need a PC, so your idea of getting a blue-ray player is kinda off as well. Also there are alternative systems to Windows as far as I know so spending cash on a OS is not in the calculation.

I was trying to help you satisfy the need you expressed. But you're right, I'll let you figure it out. Good luck.

Would this work? The CPU is quite efficient in comparison to its power, same with the card (best of the worst I guess) both claim to be ready for office work plus the Radeon supports 2 screens.

I know I can shave a bit on the moba if I decide to get a usb wifi card.
