Hey everyone

I am looking into building a server for my dad's office. They have an old dell PowerEdge that they got in 2003. Not sure of the specs but I do know it is over kill for what they use it for now.

All the server is used for is a centralized documents folder and the database for their billing software is stored there.
They have four computers on the network.

I was thinking something along the lines of this.

Athlon X2
2GB Ram
WD160
Win7

Thoughts, suggestion??

Thanks everyone

 
Here's another idea, DDR3, faster and bigger HDD:

BIOSTAR TA880GB+ + AMD Athlon II X2 245

Kingston ValueRAM 2GB 240-Pin DDR3
