Dell entry level servers are so cheap, why bother with a desktop?

What is a low end server and what is a high end desktop?
For 20 users I'm more than convinced that a regular desktop can do the
job and you will have spare hardware on it.
Of course you must know what you have inside the desktop, put 2GB RAM, 2
100GB SATA drives and a Pentium 4 (any dual core processor if you want)
and add as many NIC's as you need and you will be more than fine for you
20 users environment. You can even install a WEB filtering software on
the same machine.
I have 1500 users in one office browsing internet with a Dell 1855,
actually we have two servers but just for redundancy. 20 guys? Then go
for the desktop.
