Only "YOU" know what the needs of your business with be serviced by. So, using that decide on what best fits here. IMO, there are alot of bells and whistles in that PC but heck if it does the job, go for it. But, on the other hand if this going to be dual duty, more home based, then rethink the business needs. The only good thing I see now, its from Costco which has a friendly policy on PCs, but that's something you maybe aware of. ZT is nothing more than a 3rd party builder which also sells its systems elsewhere. If you like, checkout the Walmart version of a similar stacked PC online.
