   Are you planning to run full Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V
   installed or the free Hyper-V Server 2008[0]?
   Are you needing lots of cores, or a few cores? Is 8 Gig enough for now
   or a good starting point? I like Intel CPUs and Supermicro MBs, they
   have some nice $150-200 single-socket MBs that take 8 Gig of RAM on a
   MicroATX form-factor which support quad-core CPUs and 8 Gig of RAM[1].
