I have a new machine too - bits and pieces put together but considering the budget cost it's pretty good, with 13,700 3DMark06 marks.

CPU - AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9GHz OC'd to 3.63GHz (£48)
RAM - 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 OC'd to 1333MHz (£32)
GPU - AMD 4870 1GB with Akasa Vortexx Neo cooler (£74, second hand)
Case - Antec 300 with 2x Be Quiet! Silent Wings 120mm fans, 1x Zalman ZM-81 120mm side panel fan (£49 for case, £32 for fans)
Mobo - MSi 770-C45, overvolted (£46)
SSD - Corsair P64 SSD, TRIM support enabled (birthday present from housemates, they paid ~£160)
HDD - Seagate 7200.11 750GB (I won this in a TF2 competition at one of my uni's LAN events, but worth about £42)
PSU - Corsair CX400W (£39)
Monitor - AG Neovo 19" (is my housemate's monitor as he has a 32" Samsung LCD TV which he uses, so I'm just borrowing it)
Other - Dell DJ422 keyboard (£16), MS Basic Optical Mouse (£6), Steelseries medium mousepad (won this in a CS:S uni LAN tourney), Windows 7 Enterprise x64 (90 day TechNet trial, so I just reinstall and reactivate when it expires, so also free)

Total cost to me ~£342 (€390)

XD she did but I couldn't resist!! It gave me another 150MHz on my CPU so I think it was worth it :) I'll update my last post with prices I paid (I'll give it in £GBP).

This was originally our fileserver for our uni house (no GPU, overclocks or SSD originally!), and we had about 8TB of HDDs attached. However, we filled them all so my 2 housemates bought most of the disks off me when I bought their shares of the system, and I upgraded and rebuilt it to be a gaming PC... so now we just transfer with FileZilla over our gigabit network :D

Your university does seem to be quite advanced, infrastructure-wise! You bought 8TB's of SSD-drives? You're kidding me, right? That must literally have cost you a fortune!

I'm considering putting an SSD in our server-computer - could you recommend any good sites with reasonable pricing? I can probably arrange shipping to Sweden even though the shop won't - so don't worry about that.

Yeah, it is pretty good :) and no no, 8TB of just normal hard drives, not SSDs! plus we all shared out the cost so it wasn't too bad.
An SSD does make a massive difference though for an OS - boot time on the SSD is about 20 seconds compared to 55+ on my hard drive with a cloned installation of Windows, and everything is so much faster and snappier, so it is a very good upgrade if you can get one.
I use http://www.scan.co.uk/ as my main site to buy PC hardware from, although http://www.aria.co.uk/ are also pretty damn good. If you do plan to put Server 2008 R2 on though, make sure you buy an SSD with TRIM support as it prevents performance degradation!! :D
