Apple is offering a Mac Mini Server for $999. Tech specs are here and it doesn't appear configurable. You can add unlimited users to the server, though and it actually comes with the server OS software and what appears to be 1TB of drive space (tech specs state "dual 500GB disks"...dunno if this means some type of RAID). It also comes loaded with RAM (4GB) and utilizes a 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo processor.
This appears to be hot stuff. If you attempt to build this yourself, it would more than likely cost quite a bit more than $999.
I'm in the market for another Mac, a desktop. I may be able to do a Mini like this, though, although I'd still want to game (via a virtual instance of Windows) and the video card in the Mini Server won't cut it...wait, I take that back, as it utilizes the Nvidia GeForce 9400M, which is actually used in the Macbook Pro as a default card (although it is upgradeable in the higher end models).
