Hey guys, I'm thinking about putting together a box to use as a web server. I'm looking to keep it cheep but don't really know what I should or shouldn't skimp on. I'm going to run a linux distro, probably yoper, apache, and mysql. Mostly I want a box I can use to host some database stuff for my business, my own web projects, and a few small sites. The load will be low, and if it were to get bigger I'd like to be able to do a couple upgrades to deal with it, but I don't need 14 racks with a room full of storage and memory. Just a nice, stable, efficient and cost effective place to put some of my perl/php/mysql knowledge to use.
So if you don't mind, toss out a few ideas on what I should be looking for as far as hardware. Thanks a lot!
