I should clarify a few things about my situation. I'm a graduate student at a univeristy, and I will be connected to the school network 100% of the time. The only reason I'm using this pc as a router is to be able to enable some of multicast features on my school network. Otherwise I'd have to...

Reason I have win 2k3 as my choice is because I got it for dirt cheap from the company i used to intern at. Business wasn't good, so bankrupty = free or dirt cheap components for those who work there! Unless any other platform can offer me more features or performance or etc, I think win 2k3...

I currently have a spare PC i'm going to be setting up as a router and firewall. It has a sempron 3100+ (1.8ghz, s754) with 1GB ddr ram. Besides being a router and firewall, it'll be a file server and occasional torrenter. I'm going to be running 2 10/100 NICs and a wireless nic off of this...

I have spare parts off of an old HTPC that I'd like to use to make myself a home router that will connect to 2 other PCs. The machine's purposes are going to be: Home router (with multicast enabled) Firewall uTorrent FTP server Printer server HTTP/PHP Server Constantly play music...

I'm only looking to reduce costs through hardware, which at this point only looks to be the PSU and maybe motherboard (maybe a bloodiron for $15 less, although the lanparty is a much better deal for that price than the bloodiron). As for watercooling, I'm set on that. I've watercooled before...

I'll take that DFI UT p35 board if your not using it :D

You can use your 2.5" HD's with a converter like this for $6: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812203012 I'd personally recommend a nice shuttle XPC system. It's cube sized, but generally they are only 8" by 8" (in height and width). It's also smaller than the...
