Too many people claim to have a home server - which normally is just a normal PC installed with XP - doing literally nothing.
Smoothwall/Fileserver/Domain Controller/FTP box - are all "home" server tasks Well maybe not the DC - but some might run one >G<
Just a quick post you can get a lot for under £75
Buy-It-Now Link this is for Dell PC's - Under £75, Any CPU etc
... This with a RAID Card - Maybe a Netcell (clearance stock avaliable online) and you have a tidy little Fileserver
XP isn't at all designed to do serving tasks, its limited (needlessly?) so you can't!
m0n0wall is where its at for firewalls in my mind.
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
Im thinking those Dell Optiplexs would make a good home server - one providing m0n0wall services, the other a http/ftp/file server with DC?
My home 3.6tb server cost nearly 2k wouldn't touch Linux with a bargepole. If you have ever tried to recover 3tb+ of data on a raid5 Linux partition you will understand.
