Building a 2U 64bit server

[cb9fl]

I'm trying to build a 1U or 2U 64 bit server. The processor will be a LGA 775 P4.

Is it possible to find a 1U or 2U case for $160 or less that will support a Micro ATX motherboard? I don't want to spend $200+ for a motherboard when a $60 Micro ATX will work.

All cases I've found so far (Dynapower and iStar stick out) seem to only support server ATX motherboards.

The case will fit into my Dell 2410 24U rack.

The server needs to be 64 bit to support the upcoming Exchange "2007".

Or perhaps someone has a place where I can buy a used 64 bit (AMD or Intel) 1U/2U server for <$600?

eBay is a place where you can find used servers for cheap.

I'm not sure I understand why you're skimping on a mission-critical server, though.

im not sure if this is the case but it sounds sorta like hes looking for something to test or fool around with exchange 07

The servers will all be for my home lab. With 64 bit I'm planning for upcoming releases.

I'll need multiple servers for Exchange, Call Manager and other misc programs.

At work I'm running all Dell 2850's but I can't break and rebuild those.
