So in your opinion Windows Server 2003 would be better even for a home server, than this Home Server?
How about setting it up in Virtual PC 2007 for a trial?

Got my invited today I decided I am going to use my AMD rig for this challenge. Athlon 2400 T-Bred, 1 GB of RAM, 120 GB IDE HDD. Might throw in my raptors but the case has only a 300 W PSU so I don't want to push it too much. We shall see.

What about Server 2003? It requires install from boot. Will I still be able to choose where to install e.g. in a virtual HD. Or will it in format and install wherever it decides?

I hope so I would like to try it at least and see if it fits. I run a small business out of my house and am on the road a lot it would be nice to connect more readily remotely etc. You know connect with test machines and the like

I found a brand new server case at a GoodWill Thrift shop for $ 19.99, so I think I'll give it a try in this box with one of my many extra HD's.
