cheap server?

[robman_rob]

Hi, would building a bare minimal server accomplish hosting of files (FTP like) and be able to host dedicated games for lan purposes?

I'm thinking like dirt cheap - a couple hundred maybe, maybe buy one prebuilt even, but I would like to know if it'll do what i want it to do before buying it.

it should be fine, depending on the load you plan on having on the system. you could also go with used parts, btw, to save money.
