1. well first off a big consideration would be the amount of hdd space you need. do you have a lot of users? are there users going to be storing lots of data? the more users and the bigger the data the more space youll need. also with that do you want protection or speed? you also need to determain the amount of memory you need. are a lot of people going to be accessing the servers quickly and constantly? then your going to need a lot of RAM to speed it along. on top of that your also going to want to look at a proc. quadcores can handle a lot of data coming and going to help the network run smoothly.
