How much storage are you trying to have? Raid? Does it need to be gigabit, or is your network only 10/100? If its on a 10/100 network and you're not looking to run raid, you could easily use a P3. If you want to run software raid, a beefier CPU would be quite helpful, same goes for gigabit.

gigabit net, wired the cf reader internally... and a high 8 on sexiness factor...
everything works wonderfully (totally overkill btw)
