If you still need a CPU then also consider an AthlonXP or Duron, with an Asus A7N266-VM.

Also, are you sure it's prudent to run a website that shares "files" and music?

ECS is cheapo brand with hit or miss quality.

Tyan is a well known manufacturer of high quality mobos used in servers and workstations.

Sounds like an easy choice to me :)
