this is the setup I am thinking about going with. How well do you think it will run as a server? I only have residential cable service, and I do realize that will limit the amount of people I can have at a given time.
Intel Pentium E5300 2.6GHz 2MB L2 Cache 70$
WINTEC AMPX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 50$
4x Western Digital Caviar Blue 80GB 7200 RPM 134$ set in raid 5
HEC Orion XPOWER585 585W ATX12V 2.01 Power Supply 25$
HEC 7106BB Black 1.0mm Thickness ATX Desktop Computer Case 33$
LITE-ON Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive 20$
Foxconn G31AX-K 50$
Total build is 388$
-the board has onboard video, would adding a video card increase performance at all?
- also I have considered adding a killer NiC to offload the network processing from the cpu, wise move, or waste of money?
