Thanks Paul for looking into this, seriously appreciate the time and effort you're putting in really.
Yep, I had a playaround with Amazon EC2 and found that the service was good but it proved to be slow in data transfer, was cheap mind. I've sourced parts this weekend and today and still see this as a doable thing, a friend of mine is doing the same and has managed to put together a pretty decent AMD 2.4ghz x64 dual core while still keeping under the limit, hence my attempt. However it's more-so out of experience and wanting to try something new, I've never done this and have always viewed it as a grey area in my experience; i've built everything else and run several managed servers but never tried to build my own. I'll let you know how it turns out, waiting on parts to arrive before I buy the main hardware so it'll be another month till I really go into this. Also thankyou Robby, I want to use XEN to split up the box and will probably go this route as it adds to the experience gained and your layout certainly sounds like the way to go; much appreciated. All the best and thanks for your effort Paul, Robby, Anibal and Ben, appreciated!
