Im looking for mobo/processor suggestions. I've got lets say $125-$175 for the motherboard/processor. Nothing really special. Doesn't need to be too fast. Just needs to be reliable (24/7 operation!)
The current server doesnt have SATA so thats the only real reason I would like to upgrade.... Memory and harddrives are so cheap right now I'll buy whatever I can for a similar budget.
What do you guys think?

That budget means AMD X2
I've been away from AMD for awhile, so I'm sure someone else can point out a good board/cpu combo, but think something along the lines of an X2 4400 and whatever board strikes your fancy in the $80 range. You shouldn't have too much trouble staying under budget and will still end up with a reasonably nice setup. _________________

Maybe something like an AMD X2 4800+ and an ASUS M2A-VM - has onboard DVI and VGA graphics, plus 4x SATA 3Gbps, PCIe, Gigabit LAN (check Newegg, it is $10 less than anyone on PriceGrabber).
