How much does it cost in $aud to run a server ( a IBM Netfinity 5500 )?
it has these specs
IBM Netfinity 5500 Server
8660-11U Pentium 2 Processor 350Mhz 128 mb ram
It’s not much of a computer:

It matters what you are trying to use it for. Internet server, you still have to get some type of connection for it like OC2, that can set you back like 500us a month and up.
As a gaming server, about any desktop will destroy these old server based things in performance. Opterons are pretty good at being servers.
