[Tfug] DIY Server Components

[Jeff Berry]

I'm thinking about putting together a simple server for a home network 
and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for what 
brands/models of components (i.e. motherboard, chip set, ethernet card, 
etc.) work well with unix. Are there any that I should stay away from? I 
basically just want something that I can use to host a website and store 
data on, accessible through ssh, sftp, etc.

Thanks,
Jeff Berry
