It sucks, but I just wait till I can buy it at retail. I don't need anything right away like GPU, CPU, Consoles ect. I can wait out the scalpers and find it for MSRP. Illegal though? For non essential items I disagree.

Does you daughter want to learn about PC components? If she doesn't even want to learn about it why try and get her to do it? Otherwise just teach her what you know and what you don't you have youtube/magazines/books. It really depends on how she will learn best. Maybe buy a cheap pc, take it apart, let her put it back together with your instructions

I would walk 500 miles

Latency is typically measured in ms (milliseconds). Not only is there 0 discernible difference in latency between a 1ft and a 200ft cable but down to the micro second (1/1000 of a millisecond) there is no appreciable difference between a 1ft cable and a 328ft (100m) cable.
 
Everything will be snappier and faster with wired Ethernet even for that distance.

Buy it on Amazon, and just be honest on the return.

have you seen how big video files are ha. 6k off a blackmagic camera can eat up 1tb in under 30 mins of record time. even highly compressed 6k will eat through a TB in 2 hours.

It's time to step up your game! I'd recommend the Storinator XL60 and slap 60 16gb Seagate Eros harddrives in it giving you a cool 1.6 petabyte of storage. Should rung you about 48 grand, but you'll be set for life!

You have a point here. We need to quadruple the order lol

You guys are reading way to far into this.   If you have to make an assumption about something then your answer is wrong.  The only information they give is that one of the computers has a DVD writer the other doesn't,  If they don't specifically mention NAS, servers, cloud backups or USB drives then they literally are only asking you which can make a back up of data and files with the hardware given. 
 
 
 
 

There are ways to argue lots of things,  but the question doesn't give you the opportunity to do so by design.    Why are you debating the definition of backup?  it will be in the course material.   And if for any reason a word has not been specifically defined either in class or in the question then the most reasonable contextual definition is used.
Which is why they endeavor to keep it like that,  I've already said that several times now.    I have also said several times this is a high school test, not a university exam.  There is a shit ton of difference.  Universities and workplaces concentrate on how to do things, High schools concentrate on general priming on how to get to university or the workplace.  Please don't confuse those two. 
huh?   there is absolutely nothing arbitrary in what I have said.    All that's happened is you have failed to grasp a basic principal in testing and think it must be a problem with the school or teacher.    Again, this type of question and it's structure is VERY common and VERY intentional.  I am surprised you haven't encountered it before.
 
 
I gave you a real world example of why people structure the question that way,  there is no other way to gauge how well the question is answered without making assumptions.     These questions crop up in aptitude testing, pre interview testing all the time.   I know this because I've done it myself as a professional in HR.
 
 
Again, you have made so many assumptions as to the point of the question that you can't even see the problem.   There is nothing dumb or sinister here, it's not a grand controversy of educational failure.  It's a simple question to determine if the student can identify the correct answer without making assumptions.  you have clearly failed, you know academical they want you to Answer A but some part of you feels the need to read into it so much further to make it wrong,  why? The only way this question is wrong is if you make assumptions about it's intent.  
 
 
Don't go confusing the shit American system of getting mass contracts into many schools and supplying ipads cheap to get the kids hooked in an eco system with a fucking typo.  Given your desire for this to be some grand injustice rather than the more obvious and common testing criteria, it is likely that the irony of all the assumptions you have made to prove the whole thing is wrong (being the exact thing the test and education is designed to prevent) is also lost on you.
 
 

Nothing spectacular. Also been buying a lot of Jersey's as well

For movies 8tb is plenty. My unRAID has 11tb total available and I'm using like 1.5 with 12 TV shows and close to 400 movies so far

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ NBD.

No I don't. It's just a PC

Just make sure whatever switch you buy says 10/100/1000mbps and that it says Switch not Hub. Otherwise it'll do exactly what you need.

All you need is an unmanaged switch, which if you look on amazon, go to best buy ect you can find them easy and cheap. It won't really change anything or cause any configuration issues. Most is IP address may change for your Printer and NAS, but it will still be in the 192.168.1.x ranges.

Features just depends on what you may want. A standard unmanaged one is fairly barebones. Your main differences will be ports. The amount and speeds. You can find some with SFP ports. Beyond that the switch will automatically manage the routing itself. 

Depending how powerful your system is, Kaspersky is really top tier
