help needed with specing a "server computer"

[shimy182]

My dad is a kind of a freelance artist and he wants a webcam set up on a bird feeder.

well.
He needs a price on how much a server comp will be to constantly update pictures or streaming vids of bird feeder.
and i dont want it to affect our internet much. we are using bt yahoo with a cap of 30 gb a months, and we have a upstream of 250kbitsps.

well my plan is to use parts of my computer and up grade mine (with out my dad knowing)

i have a

CPU; athlon 64 3000 with 754
MOBO: DFI nf3 250Gb.
MEM: 2*512 3200
GF : ATI radeon 9600 pro 256 mb

so is there anything i can subtly upgrade with out my dad knowing?

and what will i need atleast for a server? i think it can be pretty bad.
and finally how can i update pictures or stream video on the internet?

thankyou,
shimy
