Server // PC

If i was to build a top of the range pc. Could i install windows server 2008 on it and would it work correctly?

Short answer: yes.

But why would you want a top of the range specc'd computer running as a server at home?

I dont know, Ive just always wanted a server.

I run Server 2008 R2 (based on W7) quite happily on 2GBs RAM and a Pentium 4 @ 3.4GHz (64-bit + HT) for home use so perhaps that may be something to consider.

Where did you get Windows Sever 2008 from?

Free from Dreamspark.com

WTH.

My school/college isnt on there.

Can i sign them up, Its asking me for school admin information.

You'll have to ask your Head of ICT to do it, mention that it's all totally free from Microsoft and, unless they're an ass hole, they'll do it

Because i get on with my Deputy Head, Should i ask her if i can do it then like il put the details in for the school.
