Server Questions

[TheChef]

I'm planning on building a server to host my own website (perhaps one day a computer building company , though I doubt that will take off...) and have some questions about components for it.

Would integrated video be fine, as I won't do anything graphic strenuous on it?

Are there any special consideration for extra components that I should look into?

How big of a hard drive should I get, if it is only going to be hosting a web page?

And this server isn't going to be running a company so I'm not going for ECC RAM or anything like that. Just a really low cost, web server.

Thanks,
TheChef

No you dont need a video card. As in special components, for a webhost server im guessing you really dont need much, since it would be a low end computer, but just make sure its not overheating since its running 24/7. For harddrive, big enough to fit your website on it, but you probably won't find harddrive smaller than 40gigs on newegg and stuff.
