Spec me a sever

[Domo]

32GB RAM. 8 cores (physical, not HT).
Need a list of components. Will be running Windows server OS.

Need to keep costs down.

I browsed the components on the OC web site and I don't know what goes with what if that makes sense. Been years since I built a gaming rig (this isn't for gaming mind!).

Thanks.

Kind of half way between the two. Need to run application software on it for pre-sales demos, so not a production environment as such. Currently using Amazon EC2 but the software vendor's hardware requirements have just been raised significantly. The EC2 costs soar when you approach this configuration.

The server will host SQL, app Sevices and IIS to serve web pages.

Appreciate what you say with regards to redundancy and everything else - we're simply putting all options on the table for now.
