Windows Home Server - Spec

So I've decided to build a Server using Microsoft's, apparently brilliant, Windows Home Server. Here's the spec:Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2LKingston 512Mb DDR2 667MHz/PC2-5300 CL5 1.8V non Ecc (KVR667D2N5/512)2x Western Digital ''GreenPower'' WD10EACS 1TBAntec Mini P180 CaseCorsair 400W CXIntel Celeron Dual Core E1200LiteOn LH-20A1H 20x DVD盧W-RAM DL Lightscribe IDE Int Black - Bare DriveMicrosoft Windows Home ServerDo these look OK? Anyone built a server with any comments/suggestions?THANKSWindows Home Server - Spec

You could get an X2 4400+, and I think that'd beat out the Celeron. Also, I thinkat least 1 gig of RAM would be good. I mean, it's a price difference of a few dollars.edit*: Maybe 2 gigs would be much better, but 1 gig should do fine as well. I guess it's not as if you're running anything intensive.

[/QUOTE]You're very right, and that was my initial thought on the situation too, but the server will use very little system resources so it really doesn't need the power, not only that but the better the components the more power they need, therefore, it would be a waste of electricty and money hence why I opted for the lower spec components. I looked at various articles on servers and they tried to push the lower end products as its a waste of power and the server actually spends most of its life doing not very much at all. Ha!
