Server prices vs Desktop prices

[silverzx]

Ok so...

Powerline adapters, cheapest/best NEW option is £25 from Argos: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360870715658



They'll probably get ordered up by end of tomorrow.

As for servers, the one I linked was one of the first in the list to pop up, I'll look into HP Microserver's.

It's not my electricity bill atm but I pay MORE than enough toward bills so it's no concern how much power it eats (Coin Farm in the Attic you say)? Actually, it would be good if it could be used to farm ALT coins when not doing other duties.. Hmm!

This is basically everything I want to use it for:

- Backing up files from PC (mostly photos via NFS)
- Downloading files remotely (Dropbox / FTPS)
- Hosting TeamSpeak/Vent server (from time to time)
- Hosting MineCraft (similar game alike) server (from time to time, if I take it back up)
- Hosting a website (just for a bit of fun, playing with HTML5 etc)

Would probably want to run a Linux distro on it as I have next to no Linux experience and it's required for most jobs.
