I'd definately Agree about the ABit boards being a great choice - I just
built up two servers in the office, both 1GHz Thunderbirds with 1.5GB of
RAM, and 40GB HDD's... Windows 2000 rocks on that configuration...
As a side-note, if you can stand the noise, I also highly recommend the
Globalwin FOP38 HSF Unit, along with some Arctic Ice thermal compound.
Really helps keep the CPU Core temperature as low as it can get - and
therefore keeps the performance up :)
