From my humble experience as an ISP: Unless these are rather heavy loaded domains, with seriously large webpages and/or people sending large amounts of mail, this could be amply serviced by just anything above a 386 with 64mb :) So I guess any answer to this question is about right. Getting it in 1U with a seperate card requires somewhat more thought since you'd want a video-chipset onboard to save on extra slots. Lik eother suggested, I too have good experience with Tyan stuff. Although I have a desktop Tiger K8W S275, which would not fit the 1U requirement. --WjW
