Ok im probally in the wrong forum but here goes im wanting to host some of my own sites i have a hard time finding a reliable company with a decent price i have a video and graphics site so it is 500 gigs so it seems like all the server companies charge alot or have a unreal tranfer fee. So i was looking at a used IBM RS6000 44P 7044-170 Power3-II UNIX Desktop Server to start out with or does anyone have any suggestions . Or can i take one of my desk tops and make my own and load the unix operating system myself ?
Thanks
