EDIT: for those who don't feel like reading through that, here's the list:
-Shuttle SD31-P1(pentium D capable SFF)
-2x 500gb hard drives(probably hitachi)
-Pentium D 820 2.8ghz Dual core
-4gb of OCZ DDR2 RAM(PC2-4200)
-DVD-Burner
-17' LCD
I'm looking to make a server and after lots of thought, a shuttle would fit the bill perfectly, my mom would find it cute so she would pay for most of it and then it's a very capable machine. I will be getting the Shuttle Barebones SD31-P1 and a Pentium D 820 2.8ghz dual core. I will probably get 4gb of RAM(2x2gb) and 2x 500gb SATA HD(not sure which manufacturer but whoever is cheapest), and probably a cheapo videocard. I will also have DVD-Burner from Toshiba. Now, i need a monitor(probably a 17inch LCD) but I already have the mouse and keyboard. My parents will be using this computer the most and being a server, it will probably be on 24/7. What do you guys think?
