Search ebay there is so many .coms that are going under it is hard to build a good server cheaper than what you can get one of the pre built dell or Compaq servers. I just bought a dell 2500 dual p3 1.4, 1gig ram, 5 36 gig scsi drives, 2 network cards, triple redundant power supplies, and a 40/80 gig dlt and paid 4000.00 for it. Server still has 2 years worth or warranty.

One of the many reasons I go with scsi is the fact they have a higher reliability rating than what ide drives have. Another one is the fact that scsi makes better use of command queing, which is to reschedule commands to minimize seek times and maximize throughput. With everything there will be a cost factor involved and only you can warrant the spending of the extra $$.
