Obviously I'll know a bit more AFTER I attend the special class for ISPs
that Microsoft is hosting <smile>.

Since we'll be using our first MS system specifically to host FPX (we
won't have to worry about the Cobalt FPX support anymore <smile>) I
can't see building anything too high end, but let's see what they
recommend.  The PP&C system has an Intel MB in it, and it's an
incredibly well-built case with a really good power supply, and an extra
cooling fan.  It's not cheap, at $350, and it's heavier than most
complete systems.  In fact it's MUCH heavier than most complete
systems.  So of course we'll put good stuff inside as well.

But we'll limit it to FPX support because I want it where I can keep an
eye on it, at least for a while, and the fastest speed I'll have here
will be 416 kbps.

If it works out well, and if it looks cost-effective and relatively
maintenance-free/reboot free, we'll install another one in our colo room
and use it for high-end database hosting or application hosting.
