I don't know what kind of power the system needs to have, but that seems like enough for a server.

What was the old one? I thought I remembered it being a Pentium 4, which means you got a ton of mileage out of it.

It was a P4 3.2Ghz with 2 gigs ram. Intel Aus board--AGP video--I only have 2 spare video cards, and they are AGP, so I'd have to buy all new video card, ram, etc.. The HD is EIDE too. (but pretty new).

I'm just thinking about ordering the same MB off eBay.. I don't wanna ask for more than I really need. I have a Geforce 4600 Ti in the server--and I did that on purpose to keep the temps in the machine down--no need for a grand video card in a server. I push CPU and ram for power only--speedy IWF

We have $100 now btw, will update counter in a sec.

Maybe theres a very cheap PCI-E video card that will run cool--will check new egg today. (I slept for 13 HOURS btw!!!) wow.. (was up for 28) lol craazzzy!
