I'm looking to build a server for hosting games maps. I'm thinking quad core but apart from that I'm not sure what to go for as I've never built a servers before. I know I don't need a Grfx card and that the onboard VGA will suffice. I'm going to strip the disks and mirror them (RAID 10) for performance and resilience and I also want to run VMware on there so I can virtualise the platform to run multiple maps. Base OS is not decided but more than likely Ubuntu as its free as I'm likely to have more than 4gb RAM which means I'd have to pay for an enterprise license under windows. Can anyone put me a spec toget, my budget is £400-£600 depending on spec and performance.
Spec me a Server Please

Thanks for the info guys. The server will be in hosting centre and I can allocate as much bandwidth as I need. Should have mentioned that I'd like a rack mountable version of the server. Reason why I want to virtualise is so I can run different apps under different environment, Webserver, mail server, games server etc...
Brendy, I've had a look around and can't see the spec you mention at the prices you list. Couldn't point me in the right direction could you?
