I am purchasing a new computer for the office and occasionally I will multibox there after work. I was also thinking of using this as my server and installing windows server 2008 on it as well as win7 professional.

Do you think this computer would work for both a small server and as a multiboxing machine after hours?

Here is the link. (http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11622690&whse=BC&Ne=4000000&eCat=BC|84|4797|90363&N=4047226&Mo=54&pos=0&No=0&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&cat=90363&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1&lang=en-US&Sp=C&ec=BC-EC39008-Cat4797&topnav=)

Thanks for the help.

What are you doing when it's a server? I am slightly perturbed by the single hard drive...

I was actually not thinking the 1 hard drive being an issue. I am going to change that to a Raid setup the second I get it. But other than that I think it might work great.

Kewl. I have a few test servers at home for work and they hunger for hard drives, depending on what I'm doing.
