I'd put together parts from newegg for you, but I am at work and using IE6, which is a pain for such a thing (due to the lack of tabbed browsing). I'll look tonight when I get home (where I also have Firefox).
I'll give an idea of what you'd need.
skt939 motherboard with integrated video and audio.
AMD64 3000+
1GB of RAM (RAM can be used pretty heavily depending on how many tasks you give your server).
A decent size HDD (250GB should do)
DVD combo drive
There is no need at all for anything other than onboard video. A mid-range vid card (7300GT or 7600GT) is for GAMING, not servering
.
Also, as for software, you can use regular Windows XP, depending on what kind of server you want to make. Game servers run nicely on XP, as well as file servers.
For a webserver, you'd probably want to run Linux. I'll let the Linux-gurus explain why (if you need more info on it).
