I'm toying with the idea of building a web server to host a website and some files. The parts I'm considering using are:
ASUS P5N-E - Free (already have one lying around)
Intel Celeron E1400 - $49.99
Gigabyte 7200GS - Free
Kingston 1GB DDR2 800 - $12.49
Antec earthwatts 380W - $39.99
Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB - $79.99
Total cost: $182.46
Edit: I also plan to use the latest version of Ubuntu Server Edition with a LAMP setup.
My ISP also has a program that allows me to up my speeds (from 15 Mbps down, 2 Mbps up, to 30 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up) and let me run a web server with a static IP address for an extra $10 a month.
My questions are:
1) Is this a good setup? Is there enough power available? I don't expect the site to get a ton of traffic.
2) Is the bandwidth enough for transferring relatively large files over the web, realistically?
Thanks for the input.
