This video from the Hak5 group at http://revision3.com/hak5 shows how to build a general pupose server using VMWare’s ESXi system for under two grand including all new hardware with 3 TB of storage, 4 core processor and 8 GB of RAM.  For those curious about building a low maintenance, low cost server for small to medium business usage, this video is very to the point and helpful.

Those not familar with VMWare or virtulization, the ESXi software is free and can be downloaded from http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/.
