Perhaps it would help if we knew what you were trying to do with your web server and what level of experience you have in IT aqnd networking. Further your price range would help.

Linux is not a bad choice but does require a bit more experience and time.

hmm, a web server?

I would recommend IBM pSeries P5 595, 64-Way 1.90Ghz. Not only will that have more than enough capacity for a web server, but it doubles as a great heater for the house

my dad has a g5 xserver for his website but i agree they are way over priced

OMG lol thats hilarious

OK, all kidding asside. Wouldn't it be the cheapest to just get 2 - 5 XBox's off of eBay, run Linux on them, and cluster them together? There are ton's of information on the web of people doing things like this with xBox's.

But if this isn't for home use and more of a business oriented system, I would seriously look into an IBM pSeries P5 510. It is also an expensive system, starting at about $4500, but remember, you get what you pay for.

Thanks,
