I've used my laptop as a server for weeks, and I think it's time to get a real one.
(Sorry if this is the wrong forum.. it was either internet Q&A... and this is more hardware related than just internet)
What kind of server do you think I need? I do file hosting for my friend, a personal site with all my latest learnings and such (when i learn a nifty new CSS thing or something i use it on that site, i host a guild website with a forum and the works, and.. yea. last month i used 457 MB of bandwidth. my sites arent very busy.... so... yea....
we have a normal cable connection, but i don't know the absolute speed of it.
So, my question is, what kind of hardware do I need? Does it need to be semi-fancy stuff like an AMD 4800+ and a WD raptor 10k rpm and some ocz super low latency ddr500 stuff? or what? what would give me good performance? i didn't think servers needed to have top of the line equipment in them, but i saw some servers that had some really nice components and i was like "why does it need all that?" so yea lol im confused.
for the things that I just listed, what kind of parts do you think I need? I already have some cheapo motherboard, if we were planning on building it. personally, i want to build it but my dad wants to get a used one off ebay.
