Additional Comments:

-Eventually I may need a monitor, but it will have to be a small monitor since I don't have a lot of desk space (I already have a Windows 7 system)
-I want to simulate my work environment where I used to worked (I got laid off). I was a UNIX user developing software for a web app (apache, tomcat, struts)
-I want to be able to log in to this UNIX box from my Windows PC as I did at work. (Now I may have to learn how to be a UNIX administrator)
-I want to build my UNIX skills from the ground up so that I can get another job similar to the one I have.
-I would like to have a small case to build this system or to buy a prebuild Windows PC to use exclusively as a UNIX box. (I want a small case to do this)

Thanks.

Nobody interested in building a UNIX computer? I wonder why?
