So I'm looking for a cheap Minecraft server and unturned server/ media server. For me and my friends can I use an HP DL380 G7? or do I need to look somewhere else. It is gonna be a 24/7 server. The reason I'm asking about this system is that it is one of the cheapest I could find.

pc with 8gb ram is good enough to run minecraft server with under 10 people

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Unless you have 800 friends that would connect simultaneously you could do it with regular hardware.

i know but this is one of the cheaper things i could find

Doesn't seem worth it running that kind of server in your home unless if you have data center speeds, power safety, etc.

I mean if you can get used hardware locally for cheap (shipping computers is expensive, they're big and heavy) then get whatever is available. What is the exact use for this? Mine craft and serving as a remote hard drive for music and movies, or will it be doing heavier work like Plex/DVR type of stuff? If it's just a minecraft and storage thing then much cheaper hardware would work out fine.

will something like this work? Intel Core i5-6400
8gb apacer 2400mhz ram 
Asus H110I-PLUS mITX 
Arctic Cooling Esport One
Raijintek Metis 
256gb Samsung ssd
Seasonic SS-300TFX 300w TFX psu 
Windows 10 Pro

Yes, that would probably work for your use. How many will be on the Minecraft server? Might be nice to have something with some extra PCIe slots in case you find the need for a second or 3rd network port and some load balancing across connections.

10? you could get away with a low end ryzen which is gonna be cheaper

 

I wouldn't put an SSD in a server though

this cost 1700dkk witch is around 250 usd. and a ryzen 3200g kost 800dkk witch is 100 usd. if you could come up with a build it could be nice. 

 

one of the cheaper sites in denmark :
