Re: Ubuntu server

Mate, only you know what you want to do with this server ... (or maybe I misunderstood you question).
Anyway I don't think it's a good choice for a 24/7 system because of it's high energy consumption.

Re: Ubuntu server

yes,
you could do a nas server, web server, even cs server ...
But, before you begin, I suggest you to take a measure of the power consumption of this pc.
There are cheap Watt meters around or, if you have a digital multimeter, you can check mA flow in AC range, then apply formula W = VxI (it's only an approximation, because with AC things are little bit more complicated)
