Like others have said, splurge on the disk speed. Personally I use
hardware RAID 10, but I'm not on a tight budget. Any modern system
will have enough CPU power. Next thing to maximize is RAM.
Another thing to consider is leasing the equipment. Instead of
putting up the $2k cash now, spread out the money outlay over three
years. You can buy a much bigger machine with lower cash flow impact.
