Quite a bit of older hardware, but it seems to work for you. What do you use the workstations for?

Workstation #1 feeds a dual monitor setup, which is my primary "safe" internet feed. Banking, brokerage account, website design, digital imaging (paint shop pro), all done on from that computer. I have 250 megabytes x 4 (all banks full) so basically 1 gig of memory.

No web surfing at all. Also drives the photosmart printer.

Workstation #2 is my internet audio stream. Music. I have M Audio Delta Audiophile sound card and 2 M-audio monitors to deliver the sound. It's sweet.

HP vista box drives a crisp 22" screen, and I use that to stream hulu, etc, and also general web surfing. The only box I run an AV on (webroot)

That's about it! I know it's old equipment, but I want to keep it going as long as possible!

I know, crazy. I don't really know how I backed into this conglomerate of a configuration. Just happened. I got come good deals off compuvest.com on some equipment that came off lease, running XP, which I like, so I grabbed the opportunity
