Yes you can, as long as you have An sound card and graphics card installed it will work just as fine I would recommend finding out the computer Specs first to see if anything would need upgrading, I hope this helps some what regards rob.

sorry Hybr!d originally i was going to just rip out the inside of the server case and put my pc inside the server case.. but thinking about it more it would be easier to just use the server as all the harddrives are wired up and so on and i think the specs are better than what im running at the minite too..
mrberty thanks mate! ill wip off the side panel and check now to see about sound and graphics

Is the server running now?
If so download Everest and it will tell you the exact spec of the PC

sorry about the late reply (connection problems) they server booted to windows vista . it had a agp graphics card / no sound card but had onboard sound and there is 6 pci slots available ( i think 6 maybe less) unfortunately the server whent off in the middle of installing programs (firefox) and wont turn back on.. smoke exiting the back of the pc case tells me why
 i contacted the second hand shop and there happy to replace it with another one as they have more.. so am going down next sunday so ill have another one soon.. i dont no if it be same specs but ill post back here and let you know what i end up with
