Option A will be a good choice.. cheap and economical..

[Yeobh]

My concern is the OS may have too many features that I may not need them - or technically too superior for a on man set up

Yeah. Option A will do just fine.

You are the opposite. Most ppl dun complain having too many features. The more the merrier.

My concern is those extras maybe end up as problem makers

Windows 7 is more of performance, recognizing more RAM even at its basic 32bit home edition. Suitable for those playing 3D games and those who wants faster responses when it comes to loading software or webpage.

I like win 7 but the desktop will not be use for game

still go for desktop afterall you mention that you are working from home. cheaper and easily customisable if you need to upgrade your system.

why not consider a lappy? Smaller foot print, can be as powewrful, portable, can be cheap too, if want bigger scree can always hook up to old monitor.

Get a iMac, less headache.

 

iMac $1788

Mac mini $1088

 

There's no other softwares (hidden operating costs) you need to buy for your simple SOHO.

 

Best for surfing net too!

If you are doing just simple stuff and on a budget, you might as well go to Sim Lim SQ and get one. Around $500 you can get a pretty decent one just for work. All those newer PCs are meant for home users who at least want to play some games. For work, you might as well get a cheap one and invest the money somewhere useful.

eh.. bro i using homemake PC.. not using HP... hahahahahaa

For some one to go sim lim, he must be one who know well enough about Software and Hardware of PC first. if not, when problem arised dont know how to trouble shoot.
