14. I think one can build a reasonable office machine for under $275
~$60 Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 (two slots support up to 8gb RAM; also up to 4 SATA)
~$60 Athlon II dualcore 2.9GHz
~$50 GSkill 2 x 2GB 1333 DDR3
~$50 Sentey SS1-2421 mATX case + 450W psu (only one SATA power connector, and only one internal drive bay, but might be able to fit a second hdd in an external bay and power through a SATA-molex adaptor)
~$50 500GB 7200 RPM 3.0Gb/s SATA hdd

That's probably plenty good for lots of linux distros
