Hey guys, relatively new here. Sorry if this the upmteen-billionith time this has been asked. I use a Poweredge 2950 as my home server. 16GB memory, 1.8 TB storage, 2.5 GHz dual quad Core Xeons, TWC ( I know) 20D/5U. I have had it for awhile now; it's been an email + domain server, MC server, OwnCloud, backup, AD, DHCP, and more. I graduated college last February, and sense then, it's only been used for Plex and running virtual machines.

I'm just looking for some good ideas to work on. Thanks!

Hello,

Sorry about the long wait.
Just buy a website and post advertisements on forums. The OS I would recommend is Windows Server 2012, just because it can run most of the games AND it can be set up so you can access it wirelessly. If you need any help setting things up, contact me on skype. Kolton.simpson

Thanks,
Kolton

Hey Kolton, I should have explained better, Plex is a media server

Ah, ok. Sorry. I know with my server, I sell my service to other people, like, I offer some people mc servers or team fortress 2 servers. Whatever I can make money off of I will do it.
