I went ahead and move the thread for you. You will probably get more of a response that your looking for in Server Hardware.
I am not trying to discourage your plans on home web hosting. But your going to be paying $450+ per month for a T1 line. Or you could co-locate your server at the
Colostore for $49.99 per month for a 1mbps connection. It would only cost you $100 per month for a 2mbps connection at the Colostore. And thats going to be allot faster than a T1. Also don't forget with a T1 you can't burst, your ceiling is 1.5mbps. Also you will not have a UPS or a back up power supply. All of those things are covered when you co-locate. My server is connected to a 100MB port Full Duplex. I can run 100mbps in and a 100mbps out. Which means I am paying for a 1mbps connection but I could burst to 100mbps. Obviously if your server ran at 100mbps 24/7 your bandwidth bill would be through the roof. But the extra bandwidth is there when ever you need it.
