Hi, I'm looking to get a cheap webserver for experimenting on
I'll be looking to use node.js and Parse (separate projects)

Would this system be better than a Pi 3 for this job? Baring in mind It can be had for £60 which is about the price of the Pi when you include power supply, case and various accessories?

Specs are:
Intel Celeron N3050 1.6GHz
2GB DDR3 RAM
 
Look at wamp run it locally ?

I have been using xampp for running locally for a while but I'm looking for something a bit more flexible and comparable to a VDS in terms of configuration. Using shell terminals etc. Also my PC has many more random bits of software and packages than I would like so I would like them moved elsewhere. I need to be able to easily access it from my mac and iPhone too.
