Hey Michael,
Having put together my own machines and my own server, this much I will say,
while I've never used SQL, I am running IIS and CF.
The thing is you're dealing with windows so you have to think memory. You
need at least 256mb. I think what you should look at is something along the
lines of a p4 850, 256mb with a 40gig drive. Cheap 50$ video card and no
soundcard.
That shouldn't be too much and go for SCSI too.
I assume the OS would be windows advanced server?

This may seem a bit OT, but if any pro. can help me out here, I'll be glad
to hear all tips and pointers.
I'm intrested in buying a 1U server to host our full-text/SQL/coldfusion IIS
website.
The server mostly run SQL Full-text queries, (10-20 million text rows)
Also, there some Coldfusion scripts that consumes some resources for
calucluation, generating and querying.
Further more, the site send out hunderds of images and htmls very quickly,
in a high above average rate.
How can I check which server will be enough? Should I consider SCSI or
settle for IDE?
Should I consider more ram (1-2Gb over 512MB) and settle for a slower CPU?
Any help or links on the subject would be great!
Michael.
