I also have a Dell Xeon server at home, and it was horribly noisy until I switched off the default ultra-fast disk option (it made no noticeable difference to performance). That dropped the noise level by about 60-70%. Their case design has a fan in the front of the drive bay that rattles like

This guy wants low cost equipment. If they have been running on a 486 box up until now, speed is certainly not an issue. I'd suggest browsing ebay for a 1-2 year old dual core server or workstation. You'd be surprised at how cheap they are once they come off lease. I do this myself every

Seems to me a move to Linux would be better since they are probably more familiar with a nix system. The spoolers are completely different. Whatever way you do decide then you should use uvbackup and uvrestore to move your accounts. It's simple from either the command line or the Uniadmin front

Mark, I'm moving a client to a new server right now. The specs we are using are Dual Core Xeon 5140, 4 GB memory, with Windows 2003. It sounds like you could get away with a much smaller system. I shy away from using desktops as servers, so I'd recommend you go with a rack-mountable if

Cost-wise, consider a dual-core AMD X2 system. If you have a little more funds, the 5140 or 5150 Xeons are well cached chips for the money. Either way, get a dual-CPU mainboard that is one-CPU capable so that you can drop in an upgrade chip later as CPU demand increases. (Trust me, it will..)
