Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Actually, the US military & DoD invented the internet so that the military Generals would still have access to pornography in the event of a nuclear war -- Wes Borg

I would go for a Compaq Proliant 1850r -
Dual PIII, 1 GB ECC Ram, Dual Power supplies, Raid controller with 2 drives.

This was a workhorse server years ago, and there are tons of them out there so...
Most Westell gear is:

Although, if pre-configured from the ISP, you may have to perform a full reset to get back to the original config.

Your specs say 4GB physical RAM.
1. Memory fragmentation?
Are you running with the recommended /3GB /USERVA=3030 kernel boot switches with your current physical memory? Have the Dump Heap Stack registry configurations for 4 GB physical RAM been set?
2. Get your DB and Logs off the Sys...

1080p support is getting some buzz; Bluray HD DVD and native HD format.
how the Dell will handle 1080p I am not sure; upsampling?
