Home Server below $800

How I do it? I will spend the next few entries over the next few days trying to document this. Before I start, I stressed that I had tried with a basic configuration and has opt to upgrade some of the component after testing it for 1 week to improve performance.
Anyway, lets take a look at the stuff I bought first.

Item	Cost
Asus P5KPL-VM Mobo + Intel LGC775 Pentium D E2200 (2.2Ghz)	$275
SIS DDR2-800 1GB RAM	$34
2 x Seagate SATA2 500GB 32MB Cache	2 x $197 = $394
VIOS V9002 Casing + 450W Power	$50

Anyway, this is the first setup. For the setup itself, I will "borrow" a DVDWriter to install Microsoft Home Server. After which, I can keep the DVDWrite in or simple pull it out.
