What kinda things are there out there that run in the background (no taskbar icon etc) that will track what websites are visited on a PC and what that PC does.

IE does that anyway - index.dat - and the logs track a lot of info - user logins etc if you have separate user accounts. Index.dat files are not directly readable, but a Google search will identify readers.
History will also identify sites visited, although the user can wipe those fairly easily.
Unless this is for home use, you may need to consider publishing policies on computer use before you start installing spyware.

My broadband speed - 750 Meganibbles/minute
Is it just traffic (like email and web) or all activity? If the former, a proxy'd be a good idea, if the latter, I'd guess a good Keylooger'd be what you'd need; something like:
Keylogger: Family Keylogger - invisible keylogger.
Download Keylogger KGB. Free keystroke keylogger and keylogging software. Get free KGB keylogger
Keylogger: FREE Home Keylogger - invisible keystroke recorder. Put Yourself in Control! Home Keylogger
Or one of the hardware loggers like KeyGhost Keylogger - A hardware keylogger which captures all keystrokes to its internal memory chip. It is software free so it cannot be detected or disabled by software and installs in under 5 seconds!.
edit: peterb is correct on the policies thing. You CAN get away with monitoring people in the workplace, so long as you make it clear in your policies that you reserve the right to do that.
be carefull - use of hardware keylogging is a legal minefield.

mate you will just want to be carefull here. getting keylogs are very dangerous if you download the wrong one you could be in serious troble like other people tracking what you go on an what you do. :|
