Windows Server is quite complecated to get running. With windows xp/2K just disable all the services you dont need running in the background. Install a good firewall to keep unwanted people out. Make sure you have all the security patches from MS installed.

Price isn't an issue, I have already said, I have tons and tons of liscences just sitting around the house from computers I have bought from offices, friends, and garage sales. I quite possibly have at least one of every key from every version of windows ever made.
However, difficulty is, and It's being a bitch getting any version of windows to install on this thing. I've spent all day on it and I still don't have any results...
Oh, and there is no way in hell I would ever use IIS.
