Other questions to ask:
- - How many users will it be serving?
- - How "busy" will it be? Even if you are only serving one system,
will it be a streaming uncompressed High Def video server, or an
MPEG-2 and MP3 server for 1 person.?
If it's lightweight like that, a Via EPIA EN-based mobo may be
totally adequate.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
