Okey... Two NIC:s sounds like a great idea. But how does it realy work?
Please tell me a little bit about it:
Should I install both NIC:s into the server, then use two N. Cable's and connect them to a Switch?
(Does the bottleneck disapear? or do I need to make some advanced configurations?)

I have a multi-processor server, running P-II 400s. A few of those (which you can almost dig out of someone's trash) will out perform any single processor 1.x or 2.x GHz machine.
As gozer13 says I'd also like to "dig out my CPU:s from someones trash".
But if I find some "betterused/new" stuffs at a low price, then I'll buy it. (I'll check out Ebay etc)

A cheapie would work, as your really don't want to run anything over 256 colors anyway, it is directly proportional to needless resource, and budget usage.
For graphic I'd prefer cheap/quality.
Backups:
Do you recommend me to do the backups to an other computer (weekly/daily), and then save a backup on the server every day.
RAID-5
I'll check out the prices and compare. Is it possible to mix RAID-5 disc's and IDE's (In the computer) ?
I mean, the most important is that I can build-out the discspace after a while.

kargooliw tell us what you plan to run on your web server, and how much of traffic per day, users, what services so we could advice you the best hardware configuration of your webserver.
OK. I'll try to explain my porposes with the server.
First: I'm going to set up a fileserver (UNIX/APACHE/Other Freeware). The purpose with the server is the following.
A limit number of users are suppose to enter my webbsite, login and be able to store and share different cind of information. (Word-docs, PDF-docs small pictures etc). (So YES, I'll need databases).
The number of users are not going to exceed a 100 users at the same time.
Second: I'd also like to use my server for Filesharing (Sharing Pics, music, himevideos and so on) (At a legal/secure way).
Here I want the files to be accesable from both my homesite, sFTP, and FTP.
For exaple: When I am in [my fathers house]. I'd like to be able to connect to the server in [my mothers house] and transfer files easaly and secure with etc FTP.
Should I divide the server into partitions (One fileshareing partition and one webbserver partition?) necessary?
If it mathers: I Use PHP and MySQL, my Webbhotel is a Linux server.
I hope you've got a picture of my project now.
Thanx alot for you help!
