You will really need to provide more details on what the intended use you have for the server. If you are looking only to centralize your files, you will want to look for a server with a RAID setup for storage to prevent data loss due to disk failure. If you are developing applications that will be deployed on the server or intend to run a database or application/web server, consider multiple processors and at least 4 GB of RAM (assuming you are running MS Windows 2003). In any case, don't forget to include some process for backing up your data. Depending on the volume of data, your backup time frame/window, data retention requirements, etc..., you will need to evaluate a backup system to meet your requirements (sorry, can't help without more details on your situation). The backup system could require a hardware interface (i.e. SCSI, fiber, etc...) so factor that into your server purchase too.

I'd look into the Windows Small Business sever software if you plan on using microsoft. If you're doing that, make sure the computer meets the requirements, which are available online at the Microsoft site.

Go with a AMD low end for now but, you can always change latter. Use 1 GB of RAM to allow every on to work fast. If your business involved with art(Adobe, photo shop,etc.) get an ATI graphic card (256 MB). The rest is up to you.
