I spent a bunch of time last night getting the new web server ready. It was a bit of a challenge smacking around the Dell trying to make it do my bidding. Evidently Dell doesn't really want people installing Windows Server 2003, so they didn't offer up any network card drivers. I had to download them from the vendor's site which took awhile to find.
At this point I have IIS installed and configured on it, along with SQL Server. The web site comes up when I go there, so I'll probably try to do the final swap tonight. My only point of nervousness is seeing if the DSL drivers work under Windows Server 2003. They have XP drivers and I'm hoping they'll work in a pinch.

I picked up a $350 Dell computer last week, a deal so outrageous I couldn't resist. I've gone ahead and installed Windows Server 2003 on it and hope to replace my current web server with this one. I'll still have it hooked up to the same screen and dials, of course. It's simply too cool not to.
While the current web server has served me well over the years, I'm finding that I need something with a bit more "oomph" as the site gets more hits. I get frustrated by the "too many users connected" errors as well as the slow load times.
