Building a server (no budget yet..)

[Phanto]

Since i was asking here for help to build my new pc months ago... i was starting thinking about getting a server, mostly for keep my pc away from 7/24 days & hours on.
So i can have this PC just for games, surfing, reading, watching
( pr0n ) if you know what i mean..

Anyway right now i don't have a budget so i want to ask you everyone that want to help, what parts for my storage, (mostly) downloads, and 7/24, computer should i get/build.

It don't require to be expensive i just want it a simple but very good as possible .

I've been wanting to build a server for a while.I like the the fact that you can have dual CPU's and like 8gb of ram.Umm you gotta have windows server.I dont know much about servers but I have a fast intenet connection would like to build a server.
Here's a quick little thing I found, soon to read it.

Umm you gotta have windows server.

Windows? Pffft...go Linux! It can handle a lot more RAM natively, can better handle multiple processors more effeciently (with the SMP kernel), and is a lot more stable overall compared to Windows.

Will the server be handling heavy traffic? If not then it probably doesnt need as much power as those Dedicated Xeon Servers.
