Server?

Hi, I just have a few questions about home servers.

Is it good to have a server?
How do you actually set up a server?
does a server have to have a lot of power?

Thanks,
KiiYzOo

I don't know Im just wondering if I would need one I doubt it though
I have one computer of my own but my parents have a computer they're not using just now and a laptop.

If you are having to question the need for one, then clearly no

I use mine at home as a file server, a back up server, an FTP server, a usenet download server, a VPN server and as a config machine or hard disk recovery machine just incase I am fixing PC's for someone and I need to recover data from a hard drive.

it was kinda to get an idea of what people use a home server for not really to decide if I wanted one or not
