What Features And Capacities Should I Look For When Purchasing A Web Server?
I like your question but you did not say what Operating System you want to use.
So here is my best answer.
For a Web Server, redundancy if vital.
Use Raid-5 for your disk drives.
Multiple power supplies.
All of the hardware/software protection you can get.
Use a great Web Server Application. For Windows use current IIS. For UNIX use current Apache.
If your server will perform Email services, for Windows use current Exchange Server, for UNIX use current sendmail.
Use UPS
For your ISP pick a "Backbone" provider.
Do your homework and do research on the Internet.
Best wishes and good luck.

It really depends on what you're planning on using it for. If you're just wanting a space to store a couple of webpages, you might even use Yahoo! webhosting. On the other hand, if you're wanting to create a more
interactive site using CGI scripting, PHP, etc., then you need to find a web host that supports the specific features that you plan on using. Dreamhost (http://www.dreamhost.com) has a variety of plans that might interest you. Another thing you need to look at is storage space. HTML files don't need
much space, but if you're planning on hosting lots of media files, you need more. Bandwith is also something that you need to take into consideration, depending on the ammount of traffic you expect to come to your site.
EDIT: I assumed you were wanting a hosting plan, not a computer that you were planning on setting up yourself. Sorry if I'm wrong.
