Pricing Advice W2k Server

[Jarhed7276]

Hi,
I do a lot of pc work for a small Insurance Agency. I recently built and installed a w2k server for them.
My question is how much should I have charged to set up the server?
They have 3rd party software they use so I didn't have to set up any of w2k's server software. They have 6 workstations connected to the server: 3 Plll 1.2 w/win98, 1 Plll 1.2 w/w2k pro, and 2 Plll 600 w/win98.
This was the 1st time I have done sever work so I meant to under charge them because it was a learning experience for me. What would be the industry standard for this?

Thanks,
Gerry

I charge on average $75 an hour for Server/Domain Controller setup work with a 2 hour min charge. But truthfully it will be somewhat based on what your market pricing is.

Thank you Mntsnow. Sorry for the long lapse before my reply.
I guess I overcharged them a bit even accounting for the difference in the local market. It took me about 12 hours to get it up and running but it probably only took 2 hours once I figured it out. I will either refund the difference or give them credit for 3 hours of work. I truly appreciate your info as these folks trust me and I would hate to take advantage of them.

Once again thank you.

I think giving them 3 more hours of your time is the better idea. They're only going to deduct your fee from their taxes anyway. They'd probably appreciate the extra attention from you more.

Thanks M_Six. That's sounds like good advise.
