What is the recommended hardware config for a dedicated server?

It depends on how you’re actually going to use it, but things to keep in mind for any server:

- Power supply + backup – you don’t want that machine flopping down on you. Get a reliable PSU and think about getting backup.
- Multi-core CPU. More processing power = better. Duh
- Faster & more reliable hard drives. I highly recommend a minimum RAID 0+1 (10) config, the more the merrier.
- If you’ll be handling this server over a network, gigabit ethernet and high speed Internet connections!

Hope that helps.

I have actually been buying servers from a website called Pacific Geek. They have a different deal on their Nooner webpage. I purchased a few servers and upgraded the RAM and hard drives. I think RAM and hard drive is the most important parts of the server. Make sure whatever you get supports 64-bit operating systems.
