Hey guys,

So I have started a new company and we have an investor, so the fun moment begins when we need to order the computers and servers for Tuesday!

We need a development computer for a C# Developer, Powerful enough for large enterprise based software to be developed, mainly c# but some web development etc and lots of Database management diagrams! £600 Budget

We need a management computer, capable to view the above programs at times and work on development i.e reporting etc, but mainly this PC will be used to communicate with customers, and management stuff... £400 Budget

Finally we need a server for a company drive, domain management, Mail + Web Hosting, And possibly a terminal service or some virtual machines (If this needs to be 2 separate servers then it is possible) £6-800 Budget?

We will also need a printer, nothing too fancy but capable of being networked whether this is connected to the server and shared or on the wifi, Laser obviously. £100-150 Budget

Finally we will need a switch and firewall, I understand That the printer and firewall/switch should be spec'ed in another thread! £200? Budget

You really need a proper supplier that can offer support, not a pc spec'd by a bunch of gaming enthusiasts :)

I know, and dell now have my details along with HP for Monday for the server, too many people have got me thinking about support and if something goes wrong...

For the 2 computers though I think I will still spec some custom built machines, My previous development job I was given £1000 to build my own rig... I didn't realise until I bought it that this included monitors and keyboard/mouse... Was a funny moment
