Comparing VDJ's requirements to Hoster's is like comparing minesweeper to the latest 3D game. My brother-in-law is a gamer. Every time he gets a new game or upgrades an existing one, I get the call. Most of the time I can just make adjustments for the added resources needed, but sometimes he has to make a choice. Either upgrade the hardware, make the necessary tweaks, or don't play the game.

Even if you never make any changes at all, Microsoft raises the bar with every security fix and "upgrade" to the operating system. Eventually it will catch up to you. Also, I would think that without some sort of computer control system in place, you don't REALLY know what happens with those systems while they are not under your personal control. This, alone, would seem to warrant at least someone with a little knowledge to periodically check these machines for viruses or other tampering.
