As i still dont ahve a job atm my parents are forcing me to do my MCSE course full-time - but it comes with its perks. I just convinced my dad I need £400 of new components to build the server :D

It will have a spec of:

AMD Phenom Quad Core 9950 @ 2.6GHz
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(37650)AMD-CPU-AM2-9950-Phenom-64-Quad-Core-Retail.aspx

Decent motherboard

and 2TB of Hitatchi storage in RAID 0
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(39703)Hitachi-1TB-1000GB-Deskstar-SATA-II-300-32MB.aspx x2 OFC

also a pro PSU /lol
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(39284)CiT-500W-Black-PSU-12cm-Dual-12v-CE-PFC-Model.aspx

and a gigabit switch as ill be using the server to run everything directly (like steam etc)

It's a home server, so don't get to excited about getting a good ping to it, unless Mitch has 1337 net :p.

Looks alright, I'm not exactly that clued-up on AMD systems.

as far as phenoms go thats a pretty fast 1. and i can run a cs server on my pc for you but your pings will all be around 100 or a bit higher if tehre are lots of people on coz even tho i have 5.5meg download i onyl have like 150k upload

lol chris youve made the exact same mistake as vicious did - its not a game server for online use - sure i could do it but pings would be over 100. Its to manage our home network and for work on MCSE
