With a few extras you get a well made box without the hassle of building from scratch all for under £250 e.g. a quick search and you find the following for approx £100 inc VAT. Main Features: HP ProLiant ML110 (G4) Server Intel Xeon Dual Core ( 3040) 1.86 GHz Processor Intel 3000 Chipset 512 MB (1 x 512 MB) Standard Memory 160 GB (7200rpm) SATA 1 inch Hard Drive DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive For another £50 you can up the memory and add a reasonable 500GB disk, plus £75 for WHS. Grand total under £250. Anyway just a thought (it worked for me!!)
