Well... If money isn't an option, then don't do SATA drives get SCSI. You will have much better performance (at a significant price increase). Also with one controller you can get up to 7 drives on SCSI.
I agree with Hellfire's X2 4400+ or better. Possibly even look into the Operton line (Denmark Core for single Dual-core CPU, or Italy core for Multi-Dual-Core CPU's). Which if you want more than 1 physical CPU you will need to do.
If you run 2 or more Dual Core CPU's you might need to upgrade to a windows Server product because Windows XP Pro will only work on 2 CPU's. I will be honest I don't know if it detects 2 Dual Core CPU's as 2 CPU's or 4.
For video card, I'd say ATi. Nvidia's 7800 is the best gaming video card out there right now, but ATi is and probably always will be the best in 2D and none gaming.
OOO And at $200 a month, you will be paying this system off for a long time. It's going to be at least $2500.00 and easily more if you start going 4GB (or more) of RAM, Dual Dual-Core CPU's SCSI or even several fast SATA drives. I would actually think $4,000.00 or more. |
