Computers are an essential part of the success of any home business. Computers are especially important if a company wants to advertise their business on the web. The purpose of this discussion is to create a computer system that will meet the needs of a small gardening business. The individuals starting the business have a $2,500 computer budget and want to advertise their business on the Internet. The individuals also want to keep their own books and be able to track customers over the web. So then, the following paragraphs will define the specifications of the computer system that I configured and the reasons why I chose this particular system and configuration.

The Specifications
