Currently I test everything on a remote web server however i want to set up a local development enviroment. I'm planning to buy Microsoft's Small Business server 2000 mainly for win 2k server and SQl 2000. Would this be a wise decision.

Thanks for any help given.

If you're just going to use it for testing and development, you could try looking at the Microsoft Action Pack subscription:

$299 (or 199 pounds, for you) gets you a year's subscription to:
