500 PCs are a lot of PCs to have to manually configure and keep track of
which has what IP and keep from getting IP conflicts. What happens if you
have a machine die on you a year or so down the line and nobody can remember
the IP it had or where the list is, if the list even exists.
DHCP does a lot better job for less administration time, you'll need a few
static IPs for servers and you can exclude those in the scope.
