Server prices vs Desktop prices

[silverzx]

Just checked the spec... there is no hard drives included, memory is DDR2 so is slow, obvoiusly minimal graphics. Still seems cheap though!

As in my first post, my current option is my spare desktop:

Pentium 4 1.5GHz, 1GB DDR2, crap GFX, 80GB Sata HDD.

Basically for £100~£200 I can get a quad x 2, 12GB DDR2, it's not exactly going to be hosting a World of Warcraft server with 10,000 players or anything extravagant!
