I'd like to quickly thank zleap and Rhia for making me feel welcome in the IRC chat. The purpose of this topic is advice on choosing hardware for a new build. I will want to use the computer as a web server. I won't want keyboard mouse or monitor and I would like it to be as cheep as possible. I will want to run multiple websites eventually. I have a brand new 500W PSU that i can use (Coolermaster) but everything else will need to be bought. The websites will all be Drupal 6, so i can only assume that plenty of CPU and RAM will be required. Regards Daniel <no_face>Quick update...

What do you think? it's definitely cheep!
It's certianly cheap. Will it be reliable? Who knows. What about backup?Is this just for your own use before you subsequently buy/rent hosted space to resell to friends & family, or are you going to host it at home, and sell space there?
