Hey there,

"8gb ram and 1tb hd"

I would suggest a Toshiba 16" like this one. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/985441-REG/toshiba_pskk6u_00x00c_satellite_s55_a5279_15_6_not ebook.html

Even though it's not expensive (in the laptop world) it's a lot of computer to set aside for a web server.

There are so many different configurations it would be hard to spec one that fit you. If cost is an issue check ebay for one that is close to what you need, then check the same computer *new* on retail sites like Amazon & Newegg.
