$1500 might be pushing it. Do you need a monitor as well? You can get a barebone computer with a i7 920, 6 GB memory and a P6T board for 800+ tax. Pick a case for around 150 and a graphics card for about $100. A 500GB or 640GB hard drive will set you back another 80-90, and the Vendetta 2 will require you to get the 1366 mounting bracket too, which will come up to about $50. A PSU will set you back another $100 atleast. The subtotal is about $1300 before taxes, monitor and OS.
But if one system's just going to be a file server, then is it necessary for the server to also have an i7?
