Sir, if you are getting "BEEPS" at boot up you have a MAJOR problem that needs fixing first! "BEEPS" at BIOS startup are BAD!. You need to fix that to be perfect, first. Then, and only then, contemplate installing WHS.

WARNING!
The hard drives in your spare PC are going to get a total wipe out of ANY data on them!

Forgot to mention this:
Once you do have it working, the backups can be kept for 3 MONTHS!. Also, when it "sees" multiple files dupicated accros several machines, it only backs it up ONCE and indexes it for restoration to the correct PC. So if you have music or pictures duplicated accross several machines it only backs up the file once!

KEY point:
Server does NOT need some fancy video card, does NOT need an audio card. does NOT need any big butt RAM - it only needs 512 meg of RAM.
