256 RAM
250GB harddrive
No CD ROM (to save energey and quiet factor also i will rip CDs with my
laptop)
minimum voltage PSU
motherboard with onboard vcard.
You can use less CPU, but you should try for more RAM.
Especially if you want a GUI to administer it.
The amount of work you have to do on a Slimserver is so low
that I wouldn't even think of using Windows. A legal copy
costs $100, and you won't use any significant portion of it.
Also those guys who have dedicated slim box out there, how do you
control the box without monitor,keyboard, and mouse installed ?
I have a KVM for my servers for the rare times I need to see it,
which I have not in more than 13 months. You can skip it if you
can just plug in an old CRT and keyboard for the rare times.
I use an ancient laptop with DSL on it for control, and use X-Windows.
See current threads for alternaives, from VNC on.
And I use the same laptop as my remote control thru the browser.
