I've been thinking about upgrading my personal server and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions about what to get from where at the best price.
I was thinking about spending around $300 to $400 on mobo/cpu and this is for a linux server so hardware stability is a must. It has to be up 99% of the time. Wanted to get something in the 2ghz range. Will be running scsi everything so I don't care about IDE and wont be overclocked, can't afford the stability sacrifices. Most likey will use DDR Ram. I don't care about gaming and graphics display on it, it wont even have a GUI interface.
It will mostly be doing web, ftp, email, and databases, not sure if that matters. The load is quite heavy for being a personal server and i want it to not die in the event of getting slashdotted. The internet connection should be able to handle just about anything, (46mb fiber line) I just want some hardware that is worth of that kind of bandwidth.
