What Subversion (SVN) Server would recommend a newbie get started on the Windows Server OS?
I think I'll be using TortoiseSVN on the client and will be doing .NET development mostly.
UPDATE:
Great advice. I'm picking my answer based on votes. I will try VisualSVN and CollabNet.
Please read chyne's answer which I thought was really good too (+1). I'll try that method out too.
I'll come back to this question in a week or two an update with my thoughts in the comments.

VisualSVN Server has reached more than 3,000,000 downloads and it's the most favored way to setup and maintain an Apache Subversion server on the Windows platform. It is certified for Windows Server and trusted both by thousands of SMBs and Fortune 500 companies such as General Electric, Siemens, ThyssenKrupp and Sony.
All standard Subversion client operations can be performed through the Windows user interface.
The short answer: no. The long answer: if you just want to access a repository, then you only need to build a Subversion client. If you want to host a networked repository, then you need to set up either Apache2 or an "svnserve" server.
I use VisualSVN server and find it really easy to setup and use.
Also if you're doing .NET development, look into AnkhSVN for Visual Studio integration. I have both that and tortoise SVN installed as clients.
