Voice servers and websites/web spac? Hi Im trying to build a Home server that can host as many Gaming server's, Voice servers and websites/web space as possible.
I plan on building the server running threw Windows xp professional 64bit. Now I was wondering with the below specs about how many Gaming server's/voice servers I can run..
and whether the server would be stable or worth building with such specs in one system.

MOTHER BOARD:
ASUS Z8PE-D18(ASMB4-IKVM) Dual LGA 1366 Intel 5520 SSI EEB 3.61 Dual Intel Xeon 5500 series Server Motherboard

CPU (I have two CPU's supported):
2 x Intel Xeon E5530 Nehalem 2.4GHz Quad-core Server CPU. (L2 cache 4 x 256kb, L3 cache 8 MB)

RAM (totals out to 72GB's within 18 slots):
6 x Patriot Signature 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC Registered DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Server Memory

Hard Drive (got 4 totaling out to 3150 GB's):
1x Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10,000 Rpm's (Installing OS on this)
3x Western Digital Caviar 1TB 7200 RPM's

Power Supply (750w):
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Retail

I also have a good Server rack case and decent sound card and cd/dvd drive esc. Looking into Power supply Backup as well.

Plan on running this on Verison Fios's best connection for now.

Also so you know this server will be running Gaming server's for Counter-strike source, Call of duty 4 ,
Modern warfare 2 (soon to be) and some others but mostly those. As well as Ventrilo's (voice server's) and website's.
Any feedback would be much appreciated. I'll be spending a lot of cash out of my wallet for this. Thank you.
