Looking to build a cheap office PC

Hey guys, I need to build a cheap PC for a small business.

It will be used for:
-Internet
-Local Network Usage
-Printing
-Productivity software

As such, it doesn't need to be incredible. The goal is to get them something that will run fast, and last a while. I was thinking micro for this one. Here is what I came up with:

APEX Micro ATX Case
Foxconn Micro ATX MB
AMD Athlon II X2 250 CPU
Kingston 1333 (2 x 1gb) Duel Channel RAM
Antec EarthWatts 380W PSU
WD Blue 320GB HDD

Total: $252

We already purchased windows 7 and the dvd drive. I chose the parts listed based on features and price, so I may be off quality wise in a few places. Any input would be appreciated....definitely trying to keep it in the current price range.

Thanks!

Foxconn can be trouble.

The board glc linked is much better quality as it has 100% solid capacitors and anti surge protection. Well worth the extra $10.00.
