Look at a Dell PowerEdge 1400 SC. Use the Dell web site to configure it as you wish to get an idea of price. Then call one of Dell's server consultants. It has been my experience that I saved money and ended up with a more powerful machine when the consultant speced it out.

Consider your space requirements carefully. It is not easy to expand a RAID 5 array after it has been initially configured. A complete backup/restore and reinitialize are required. It's easier to plan for the maximum hard drive space in the initial installation.

I have a DEll 2500 server with a 1x6 backplane. It currently has 4 36GB drives running RAID 5. I want to add two additional 36GB drives, but I am not sure how to proceed. Does anyone know of a technical support article or something similar that will provide instructions?
Thanks in advance.
