thought Id share how I'm setting up my "network"
yes Im a pc geek


over doing it much ?

can't you pull parts from that laydown server, and make the stand up a monster one? Or does the extra pc actually help other things ? I'd maybe vote for a bit more airflow, unless you're planning on using the extra heat

the dell is a bit more at 100% working order all that needs really is a aftermarket video card
dell = 2.4ghz
HP = 2.2 ghz
as for heat was gonna go to radio shack and get 3 120mm fans ,grab a small piece of wood and make a cooling rack of sorts
plus Ive been on this idea to use my window near hear some how to pull in winter air using some type of "poorman" duct work for ice cold cooling although im sure i would need to figure something out since condensation and water build up might be a prob


then comes a GOOD router finally.
