I'm looking to build a very basic work PC for around 500 USD/50,000 JPY. My necessities, in order of importance, are
Reliability/Durability: The computer will be on more or less 24/7 and the longer the computer lasts, the better. This is by far the most important factor. Speed: Fast access times would be a big plus (though, when is it not?). So an SSD? Storage Space: A minimum of 500gb. I am considering running HDDs in Raid 1 for safety. One ~24'' monitor
Most of the work that'll be done on it is document editing, programming, and CAD work. No audio/video editing and no gaming, so graphics are not at all a factor. I already have a mouse, keyboard, and operating system. I live in Japan and can shop in Akihabara.
Thank you for your help! Please let me know if any extra info would be useful.
