Need to build a server. Any recommendations?

[Lister2020]

The new server I'm setting up for this place where I'm gonna be working, needs to accomodate between 40-50 machines connected to it though its safe to say that it will only have the 40+ connected for a cpl of hours each day, so I don't wanna go overkill and take out several hundred from the budget that I could spend on a nice LEATHER CHAIR FOR MY OFFICE!!!

So, gonna be running server2003, have 40-50 machines connected with 100-150 user accounts, functions as a print/file server all the usuals.

Recommendations? (Oh, more than 1 gig of ram which the current one has )


It's a computer suite that over the years I got up to 40 computers, its a mess because the guy I know has let everyone use admin logons so he is giving me a part time job in the place as admin, gonna be fantastic for my CV and using the money from it to get my MCSE/MCSA certs

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I'll go for a pre built

Thing is this place is just part time at the mo as I said, and im taking the current server and spicing it up a bit to function as a permanent backup incase the main one goes down or when i perform monthly mainteance on it and the like. But still, ill go for one of those. should support 40 XP clients ok yea?
