Securing a windows 2003 web server!

Folks, I need serious help. I am a few months away from buying my own windows 2003 server, and I need to know the best ways to secure it. I know with DDOS and ALL the easy ways to crack Windows 2003 Servers, well, I want my server to be as secure as ... serverdivision.com's ...

Here are the specs of what i'm getting with my server;
ECC Registered 2048 MB RAM
Dual Xeon 2.8GHz
Cisco PIX 501 Firewall
10 IP's
2 TB Bandwidth
100Mbps Uplink
Windows Server 2003 Standard
Helm CP
Shared MS SQL Server 500 MB data file
Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC)

I need to make the server air tight. But I am VERY new to windows hosting all together. I need to know techniques, websites, anything that people like me can study and implement to keep the server incredibly secure.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
