I have an LCD and theres a noticeable difference between VGA and 
DVI->HDMI   The colour is way better, but the resolution of the DVI 
input is fixed at slightly smaller than the VGA.

You can't buy a new board for that - you'll need to go to trademe or 
similar.

The best server/rack kit is a generic box which takes ATX components. 
That way you can replace/upgrade with normal parts rather

Other rack gear tends to have custom motherboards etc.

$1500ish gets you a low-spec HP DL120 with a dual core Pentium and 2GB 
ram.  Space for 4 sata drives but only 1x160GB.   Note - servers only 
have PCIe these days.   Rails are included but optical drives aren't.
