I am building a development server to run a dual boot of debian linux and windows xp.

In the future I am thinking of possibly co-locating the box and so the hardware I buy now must be usable in the future. I trying to decide on the motherboard - cpu will be a xp2000+.

I will build the box in a standard case then move it into a 2u when I go for co-location.

Which motherboards would people recomend? When you co-locate your computers do you remove the graphics card?
