Instead of installing 5 separate PCs with their own individual copies of Windows OS, consider following option...
Invest in a PC Sharing system that allow up to 6 operators to work on 1 system simultaneously. This legally allows you to run your business with 1 licensed copy of any software.
Each operator have their own monitor, keyboard and mouse and are sharing the 1 pc system.
A PC sharer allows multiple users with a keyboard, monitor and/or mouse each to access a single PC (CPU) on a first come first served basis. The sharer will also split the monitor signal allowing the same screen to be displayed on all connected monitors. All connected keyboards, monitors and mice will act exactly as if they were connected directly to your computer.
Each operator can run different applications and all can surf the net at the same time.
It's all done through a switching box/router hardware.
This way you invest all that money in 5 pcs of up to $7,500 in one real hot main PC system (go for the top line) dual processor, etc. You may even have some spare change left over for some nice chairs.

Request an OEM license from both companies under small business, get the license for 5-20 machines, explain to them that ALL SYSTEMS are housed at your location, and used by your staff, you might get away with just a copy of one program of each. If you are a developer, you might also apply for that as well, but the companies want your business and let them know, they are not the only game in town!
