Probably not the sexiest post, but here goes anyhow.... I'm putting together a linux web server on the cheap. It'll run apache, and perl and will need to perform cpu intensive JPG image manipulation on the fly. It'll just be connected to the network without keyboard/monitor and I'll access it through SSH.
The budget is fairly low, and this is what I've put together so far. I'd like suggestions for improvement, if there are any in the same general price range.
Already have a spare 200GB Maxtor Diamondmax Ultra PATA drive, and a spare CD-ROM or two.
System from newegg is as follows:
Rosewill steel case (will discard the PSU)
Gigabyte GA-K8U-939 motherboard (no need to overclock)
Thermaltake 430W PSU (to replace the Rosewill)
AMD Athlon64 3000+ Venice
512MB Corsair Value Select DDR400
Vantec 120mm case fan (just going to assume included case fan is loud)
Total before shipping: $308.97
