My local church wants to put up a website, and rather than rent space, or pay someone to build the website I've been volunteered. I have built quite a few computers, but have never ventured into "Server Hardware" territory. So as I'm looking to build I figured I might ask a few questions first.
Requirements: This will be pretty basic, so i don't think anything real fancy is required, but I do believe that some features might tax a normal system. I would like to be able to have streaming audio and perhaps video later on down the road - but the site overall will not be getting a whole lot of traffic. I'd like to have some photo galleries, and will probably integrate a little flash content, but nothing really taxing aside from streaming audio.
My primary question here is; Do I need to use server hardware to accomplish my goals, or would a "standard" system build work out for me?
