[Pc_Support] server build

[Thomas Carlson]

Well, work wanted me to watch the budget and this wasn't a server, so I
picked at Furia Value Workstation...

http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=90383

I'd have to check, but I think I bought it before Brian posted ( Thanks for the great info! :) ) his
thoughts on the AM2 Socket based motherboards which look really good.

Cheers,

Thomas
