[QUOTE="wite, post: 183700, member: 20191"] Hey Dolan, Just a few things you need to know; 1. It will cost you a redicilous amount of money to keep the server on 24/7 (Probably another $150 at least on your electricity bill monthly). 2. Have you got the Appropriate OS? If you need to get Windows Server, it will cost anywhere between $20-$40. Or, you could use a version of a Linux server for free. 3. Have you got quick internet? For a server, you probably want internet speeds of at least 20.00 Mbps Download and 2.50 Mbps Upload. If you still are keen on turning this server/PC to life, then you should go about it like this; Put it in a room that is barely used, where not much is done. This well help to stop people getting in the way and accidently doing something harmful to it. Install the OS, whether its Windows or Linux (Make sure you get the "Server" version). Once it is up and going, remember to install IIS, Open the appropriate ports and install MIME scripts like PHP. Once that is all done, and if you have met all requirements, you have a successful home server. :) [/QUOTE]
