What do you guys think of this setup for an application server in a network of 20 users. Workstations are AMD 1.4, 512mb, ECS K7S5A.

Furthermore, do you think the prices are reasonable, or did I get ripped off?

Thanks for looking...
 
well for starters why do you need a $137 video card in a server? all my servers have cheap ATI or S3 2meg PCI cards. All you need is 800x600 at 16 bit color. Personally for a server I would invest in SCSI, but since you're going the IDE route, get a better IDE raid controller than what's built into the motherboard. Also where's your backup device? You could always invest in another hard drive and have the contents of the raid array written to the other harddrive each night.

Other than that, looks good.
