Yes you can. But you would be better off just using a normal gaming computer because of these reasons: 1. Servers have different design targets to a gaming pc. Servers are made to be reliable 24/7 data processors and not gaming pcs. 2. Servers are built to process data and input/output signals and the components are not designed to run large demanding programs. 3. Most games wouldn't be programmed to take advantage of all the hardware. Most games are only designed to take advantage of 2 or 3 cores and even the newest games will only use a max of 6 or 8 cores at an absolute extreme. So if you still want to use a server as a gaming computer go ahead. I use on as a desktop and it works fine running basic program's but if you want to play games I would definitely recommend a normal pc is you have a choice. :D

Can you use a server as a normal PC?
Yes, you can. Just install whatever operating system you're wanting on the server and use it like normal. I know of a few people that have done this and I want to try it but I don't have a couple thousand dollars to blow on a server. If you are fortunate enough to come by a SERVER UNIT, then all you have to do is wipe the hard drive(s), Format it/them and install your operating system onto the primary hard drive. Check the BIOS to determine this, make sure you have enough space...at least 10 Gigabytes, which a SERVER should easily have...and set the primary drive to boot up first...easy.
