Depends on what you are going to use it for.

Most references around here to "LAN Box" are referring to a computer built for gaming. They are generally small and easier to transport to LAN parties.

That system you list would be great for a Network server, depending on what you need to serve.

just serve games that even though they would take forever to load it would probably take the speed lose from a computer actually playing the game and transfer it to tha tcomputer also it could be used as a (simple)app server as in word and other programs right?

please comment on the game server though would it be worth it to even try?
