howto build a 1u linux box w/ hotswap SATA - info and info request...

[hanasaki]

any suggestions on specific parts for this?
Basically what I need is:

Pref AMD X2 although Intel is 'ok'
2 SATAII hot swap - or at least external bay removable
	- these will be mirrored
	<maybe 3 drives and Raid5 - suggestions?>
	<possibly the boot drive in a bay also>
10/100/1000 Ethernet
1 gig RAM
some basic onboard video
costs?

Any suggestions for alternatives are also welcome.

This is going to be a colo box for some basic web hosting, email and a
bit of ASP(app service provider).  The 1U is based on the cost of colo
space.

also...
	All linux raid or mobo hw raid?  get a separate card?
		what is the decision criteria?

	With what types of Raid (kernel, mobo, card)
	is it possible boot off the raid vs need a boot drive

	Any suggestions on colo space and costs?

	all hardware needs to run under linux kernel 2.6

FYI: I need to get the hardware purchased very soon.
