Hi,

I need to assemble a web server with apache, MySQL, PHP.

It will mainly run a PHP based small ERP application.

Can someone suggest what kind of hardware I should look for?

Can I use high end Intel desktop motherboard e.g. DG35?

My budget is upto Rs.35,000. (Motherboard, processor, RAM, Cabinet with power supply)

IMO, user server grade components for server type applications, unless you are just doing proof of concept.

An entry level server motherboard, CPU, and a server grade cabinet (with a good SMPS) will cost you around Rs. 30K. RAM, and hard disk will vary per the capacity that you want to configure. At a min. configure RAID1 and 4GB of memory (2*2048MB DIMMs).
