Smallest web and E-Mail server, possible Linux or Windows?

I used to run a couple of rack mount servers in my garage, but they were too noisy and power hungry.  Now I just leave my cocktail table MAME system on 24/7, running Windows XP and online via WiFi.



Bonus, it's always ready to play a game.  It's also hosting that picture!

er..  Did you just tell the world you have an XP web server on the internet and handed out it's address?  

Sure did!

Damn, do I have to put in 25 cents to get on the interewebs at Tone's house?

I used to have the quarter slot connected to the power button connector on the old PC I had in there so dropping in a quarter would power it up, but I didn't bother reconnecting it when I swapped a different PC in.

Actually, I think that's Popeye?

Yup, Popeye.

Running your own mail is not such a good idea really.

I agree, the work isn't the worst part of it though, what stinks is when your server is offline for a couple of days and you don't notice.
