Hello Tom's Hardware:
First, I would like to state that I am unsure as to where exactly I should place this thread, so I decided in the end to leave it under 'networking'. It seemed to fit the topic the best. Moving onto the gist of the thread, I am looking to build a server computer. My knowledge over the years has consisted of nothing but Gaming computers and Enthusiast builds, but never have I wandered into building a server. The only thing that I know I will have to do is buy a server processor and a compatible motherboard, and I know very little information as to what to look for. I know that the Intel Xeon is considered the best processor in the market for servers, but it's a bit too pricey for a first-time server build.
All I'm asking is for you to put together a list of parts that I would need to build a solid server, preferably under the $700 (USD) mark.
I appreciate any help you could give me.
Chris
