How do you think it should be spec'd?
That's about right, though I don't think we'd need more disk space
nor would we need all 4GB of RAM (but if it's cheap, it can't hurt to
get it). I'm sorry I'm lagging on a component list/price quote, but
I should be able to get one to this list today or tomorrow.
One more specific question to discuss is one of SCSI/SAS (which I
assume you're suggesting due to the 73GB size quote) vs. SATA. For
the load that Sparky would handle, I believe we would be very well
served by a server-class SATA-2 drive (Seagate's NL line for example)
at 7200 RPM with NCQ. This would keep server cost down drastically,
and would also inherently solve the space problem due to SATA's
typical 300-500GB capacity. Of course we should consider nothing but
a pair in RAID1 configuration.
