Here at work we run several GIS programs. We still run XP Pro since some of the programs will not run on anything else. We recently bought a used Dell 380 Workstation. Twin processors, and the motherboard has a built in RAID setup. We mirror a pair of 2 TB drives. A 2 TB drive is only 100 bucks anymore. With the mirroring we have protection from a hard drive crash.

The average image we work on is one GB so storage was important.

The bottom line is for under 600 bucks we got a machine with two processors, and a built in RAID controller.
