well, it's just RAID-1 and I'll only need two drives. so the motherboard
IDE should be good enough.
unless that's known to be bad? :).

yeah. especially these days, with CPUs that are five to eight times
faster than anything I've ever used [my current notebook is only
400Mhz and the only time it's too slow is when i'm compiling a
kernel].
the server will be just a file, web, mail and DNS server. so the CPU
load will certainly not be a problem. even their 800Mhz file server
now never goes beyond around 20% load. and it only gets that
high when i connect to the VNC server.
