Cheap setup for Minecraft server?

Sorry if this is the wrong section but could do with some assistance.

A friend has an old all in one he is using for a minecraft server, however it appears to be on its way out. we are looking into a cheap computer build for a server but i'm unsure what to get for it. any help is appreciated.

its 7-8 people max online however that including the mindcrack modpack plus 4 or 5 other mods included which apparently take up ram in place of players. we looking at something as cheap as possible, but wont cause issues for players on the server. my co host did see this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-005-EP&groupid=43&catid=2478&subcat= and wondered if it would be enough

i'd hazard a guess and say yes if you put in more ram

You want to build it yourself or pre-built?

i was thinking build yourself to be honest as you can normally get a good setup.
