I can recommend the ASUS P2B-LS. It already has FastEthernet
(intel EtherExpress Pro/100) and U2W-SCSI (Adaptec) onboard.
Works very well and reliably.
You probably don't need an ultra fast CPU. Pentium-II/III with
450 or 500 MHz should be enough. Be sure to get enough RAM.
As for the disks, IBM U2W drives are nice. Seagates work fine,
too. You should also think about an approptiate backup
solution. DLT, MLR, VXA, there are some possibilities to
choose from, unfortunately not exactly cheap, but you get what
you pay for. Avoid DDS.
Regards
Oliver
