It sounds good. How does it compare to other stations in "your" market?

If it’s digital processing, it IS software… Period. As far as stability of Windows, if you start from a regular retail or oem version that hasn’t been tweaked by Dell or whoever else… then it will be rock solid, as long as your memory doesn’t have any issues (that can be & should be tested).

I managed over 200 Windows machines at my last day job, and the ONLY failure we had in 4.5 years was 1 hard drive went. That’s to be expected (or even more) since we had 2 drives in many of those machines too. Problems with uptime caused by Windows itself: ZERO**. We were running Windows XP SP1 on most of them, with maybe 40-ish of the ones we added later on being XP SP2. Mostly untouched once we got them running, and behind a Foundry router performing firewall duties. You should definitely firewall the machine so it’s only accessible from the outside via a non-standard VNC port or some such.

** The only problem we ran in to is that Windows XP (maybe other versions, haven’t had the time to test it, hehe) has a "bug" where after exactly 365 days the audio subsystems will refuse to work. So… the only downtime you’ll really need is once a year you’ll have to reboot Windows. 😆 But other than that, you should be able to run 24/7/365 non-stop. If you use a USB flash drive instead of a hard disk drive, then you can extend the possible failure of the machine to more like 20+ years when you’ll be dealing more with the mainboard’s power systems and few moving parts (fans) than anything else.
