One large server vs. two smaller servers?

Hello,

I am putting together a new server, but recently realized that for the price of the dual 1ghz, 2GB ram, u/160 drives, etc... I could put together 2 smaller systems. (Say single 1Ghz, 1GB ram, scsi2 drives...).

What do you guys think about this? Should I go with the one "larger" server, or is it better to go with the 2 smaller servers, and just put 1/2 as many clients on them?

thanks!
