    It would depend what kind of server do want to set-up. File / Data storage Server, Application Server (server for hosting online database such as SQL or MySQL), Domain Name Server (DNS).


    Windows based:

    O.S. : Windows Server 2003 (My bad bro, Windows Server 2003 pa lang naa siguro)
    Hardware: Workstation/Server set-up (e.g. Intel Xeon / AMD Phenom (maybe no need to overclock because your
    server would run 24/7), a high quality MOBO preferably with solid caps (for endurance), 2Gb to 4Gb of Ram
    - depends on your application, ), No need to have a high end GPU (unless you want to play DX9 games on
    your server), Size of HDD will depend on your needs - but I suggest you use RAID 5 set-up
    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redunda...ependent_disks), an efficient PSU (branded) and a
    casing with a good cooling system.
    LAN Set-up: Preferably 1Gigabit Ethernet LAN set-up (you can also use a Wifi G/N router if you want to connect
    wireless devices such as laptops to your network). Gigabit Ethernet LAN needs CAT6 cable.

    For a small office why not use Linux OS.

    how small is the office?

    If you will just use the "server" for simple file and print sharing of documents, then a linux OS running on "standard" pc hardware will work... no need for xeons or quad core stuff...

    application servers require fast HD(preferably RAID) AND fast network (GIGABIT OR MORE) though... and good amount of ram(and of course windows server OS)

    You can use IIS for FTP uploading... ma install ra nimo using "Add wiindows components" sa Add/Remove sa control panel. it will look for the windows XP install disc. Maka host pa jud ka ug imong single Intranet site.

    Kung server jud imo ganahan, use windows server 2003 or later. Pwede ka mo gamit gihapon ug IIS... or if you want another alternative use Active Directory...
