Build A 64-Bit Server On A Budget
Required Components
New versions of Microsoft Exchange and Windows Small Business Server require 64-bit server platforms. Having recently deployed several new 64-bit servers for clients, IT consultant Erik Eckel is familiar with the expenses typically accompanying such hardware requirements.
But building a new 64-bit server from scratch doesn't have to break the bank. In fact, Eckel built a 64-bit server for less than $775. Here's how Eckel recommends building a budget 64-bit box.
-------------------------------
In order to build a proper 64-bit server, several components prove necessary. In addition to a capable case and power supply (more on that later), you need a server-class motherboard, a strong CPU, hard disks, an optical drive and more.
