We are about to buy a computer which will primary
work as a webserver (allso emailserver/fileserver) and
wonder if anyone have any thoughts about the following
hardware and combination:

Chassi: COMPUCASE CI-4UT6A PC-CHASSI 19# 4U 1X300W
Motherboard: MICROSTAR 865G-NEO2-LS S-478 VGA LAN S-ATA ATX
CPU: INTEL P4 2.8GHZ 800MHZ 512KB SOCKET 478
2*Memory: DIMM DDR 512MB PC2700 333MHZ, KVR
2*Harddisk: SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200.7 120GB 7200RPM ATA/100
Graphic&Network on the motherboard

I think 400W is (almost)always better than 300W.

If you intend to have a service of 70% that Seagate ATA IDE drive would
NOT be so good for 24/7 service, alone, in a server. And, 300 watt PSU
might be marginal! Safer to go for 400 to 500W PSU!

I would definitely get SCSI Raid for reliability on any server!
Yep, they cost MORE, initially, BUT, the warranty is often for 5 or 7
years, and they multipath read/write, unlike the IDE drives.

Network on the MB is no great treat, as a 10/100 NIC is available for
less than $20 for a name brand card! Videocard is not needed on a
server, if you use any of the fast Linux distros, and remote manage it!
You do need to configure the environment so that the remote will see
something...
