I've got a server I built from old parts laying around...

P3 500

768MB PC100 SDRAM

a couple hard drives

Windows Server 2003

It runs 2 web sites, MySQL (used to run SQL Server 2000), and an FTP service no problem at all. And even that is likely overkill, as long as your database doesn't get millions of hits. If you can find any machine with an original Pentium or better, you should be in decent shape for a basic HTTP/FTP server.
