Barebone System Question
I need a dedicated computer to operate a weather station / lightning detector for a web site I’m building. I was thinking about buying a barebone system from Newegg to power the station:
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16856110031

I never bought a barebone system before and have a question. Do I just need to buy the CPU, RAM, CD and HD? Am I forgetting something?
Thanks!

OK so, onboard Video is fine and sound is a non issue...

More or less yes.
For I/O (keyboard, mouse, video) I'd buy a KVM switch ($15) and hook it up to the same Keybrd, etc. as your web server or another computer. Reduces the money on getting the I/O for another computer, and that's less space on a desk taken up by that stuff. I live on KVM switches.

Either I'm looking at it wrong, or it says that it comes with a power supply.

As for the KVM switch idea...I sometimes wonder how I used to survive without them.

a barebone system is a prebuilt system that only includes a case, mobo, and cpu...if i remember correctly. its gotten the hard part finished (hooking up the case to the mobo) so it s all plug and play with the rest.

:S

It depends really, you can get just a case and a mobo, or nearly everything just assembly required.
