Business Workstations

Hi,
I am replacing business software at my work (it's used for appointment scheduling, billing, client database) and should replace the 2 workstations at the same time. The ones in place are >7 years old. It is sometimes a very dusty and hairy environment, so I need something that tends to run cool.
Could I please have a recommendation for complete build?
Thanks,
AndyM

The last business machines I bought were Dell Optiplex 390's with 4GB and i3 CPUs and 3-year warranty. They were about $450-$550 each.

It looks like Dell discontinued the 390's and are now selling Optiplex 3010's for about the same price.

For business machines, I don't do custom builds any more--it tends to be cheaper to get pre-built ones (unless something special is needed).

They might need filters and the fans set so there is a positive pressure in the case.
