What im trying to do is set up a gaming server for me and some friends. I would do it over a wireless network but we live aprox a mile apart and cannot afford expensive routers.

You don't need any server, you just host a game in any PC, and your friends connect to that game by the IP Address.

Your only answer is expensive wireless gear to create a wireless network. Without creating a virtual private network (VPN) over wireless between both locations you cannot create an IP network.

If you want to make your spare computer into websever, make sure your internet provide does not block port 80, 8080 and port 21 for FTP.
