QuestionLooking for small home server specs Pin

I'm considering setting up a small server at home - to run TFS and SqlServer.
* I'm not interested in learning about setting up & maintaining a domain server, so "all things network" are not AFIK important.
* I'll probably use it as a print & server.
* Ideally it'll be very quiet
* Ideally, it'll have an some easy way to make periodic backups (tape? CD? external HD? Suggestions?)
* I'd like it to be cheap (sub $1k; preferably closer to $500, but that's not critical)
* Performance is not critical - I'll not be doing anthing heavy duty with it


For those of you who have something remotely resembling this:
* what hardware are you running?
* what non-Microsoft software have you added?
* how satisfied are you with your setup?


For those of you who have no hardware, but plentiful opinions, suggestions and ideas:
* what would you recommend?


Last but not least:
* what haven't I asked / what do you think I should be thinking about .. that I'll regret if I don't consider it before spending $$?

Thanks,
Chris
