Greetings,
I have finished a proposed configuration for my homemade server. It will be used as a network storage drive to share documents / photographs with my friends and family back home and to host my Microsoft SourceSafe (well, the modern VS Team Server) or Subversion server.
Cheap case with < 250 watt PSU
2 x Western Digital Caviar Green HDD for RAID 1 :

2 x 2gb = 4gb OCZ DDR2 800 (is this overkill? will 2gb do?)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227248
GIGABYTE GA-D510UD / Intel Atom D510: Mobo / CPU Combo (is this enough power to handle WS 2008?)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128436
Software
Torn between Windows Server 2008 R2 + Microsoft Visual Studio Team Server (modern SourceSafe) or CentOS with Samba and SVN. The Microsoft software will be free via MSDNAA.
Or I could just buy this Lenovo Pentium Dual Core server (2gb of ECC ram, upgradeable to Xeon) and drop in the two HDD above, if it justifies the added cost (+~$120 with the HDDs, but left with half the ram):
