Motherboard for server

I need to build a server platform at work to host about 75-100 email address. i will also be hosting about 5-10 websites. Is it a must I use a server style motherboard or could I use a decent Intel motherboard with a core 2 Duo processor. I would need about at least 4 sata connectors for at least a raid 1 setup. I just dont want to have to pay thousands for a server that I really dont need. Any suggestions?

thanxs

You could use a Intel mobo no problem. Although you'd want some serious read/write, and RAM. The CPU would be taxed, but not as heavily as the first 2 I mentioned.

If that above link don't work then goto Spam Link Removed and click on computer accessories. Let me know if that is what you need and give me your email address again.

GO AWAY SPAMMER, Please see if there is a .38 revolver & about 6 bullets for the gun in that list, & please load the gun & play around with it by pointing at your head & pulling the trigger.
