Default Questions on SQL Server

How do you know you need 100GB?

Hello all,

I am sure this place is a right place to ask questions on SQL Server.

I want to create a SQL Server, and I do not know how to get started. I
have
tried 2003 SQL Server Express, and it did not work for me due to the limit
of
database size at 4GB. I need a database with at least 100GB capacity.

My current plan is to buy a $500 desktop computer for the purpose of
hosting
the SQL Server. I will have SQL Server as a back-end database and Access
as
a front-end database. I also may want to access the SQL Server from
Access
FE in a laptop computer.

If you can share with me how I can get started and how much it will cost
me,
I would be greatly appreciated.
