I'm involved in a small business startup, and we're looking at needing 2-3 PCs for general admin work/web access. Both will need dual monitor and ethernet capability, but clearly need nothing more than a very basic spec. I've built a few PCs in the past so know my way around a mainboard. The key factor is keeping costs low, and I've considered a few options, but would appreciate advice on the best choice;
1) Buy components and build from scratch
2) Buy very low end pre-built desktop PC
3) Netbook/cheap laptops (easy to add 2nd monitor)

Any recommendations?
