me and a friend are looking into either converting his old desktop into a server or just buying a new one all together.

for refference here is where the current computer is at

3200+ amd processor
1 gig of ddr2 ram
150 gig hard drive
256 mg nvidia

we would upgrade the ram and get new hardrives probably these:

At this point would it be worth it, to just start from scratch?

Also weve never really messed with server building we are just assuming ram, and cpu, size and speed, would be the most important. is this inccorect?

Given the parts i listed what is the best we could build for 700 (maybe 1k) dollars? You can assume we have extra power supplies, hds, cases, 256/512 ram sticks, ect. laying around.

edit
we are also considering this
