I did it a bit different and bought myself a Lenovo ST50 desktop server. It has a xeon processor and ECC ram. I could of spent less on it if I bought it used.

Yes, take a look if interested. Lenovo, HP have these desktop style servers. It's what you would find in small dental/doctor offices.

That's the beauty of linux/bsd.

Whenever possible I try to stick with linux or mac before windows.

My kids however have window machines... They use their computers strictly for gaming. Plus Microsoft offers Family Safety.
