1st of all - you don't need to build a server; run it on your existing computer.
2nd: if you insist on getting a server, get a cheap offering (Aldi, serveral large computer shops), which will get you running for less than 500 Eur. Trade your screen for more memory, as mentioned before, 512 would be nice, 1G even nicer. Windows as well as Oracle love memory. You should be done for about 400.

The cheapest solution would be to do it on your existing one - perhaps add some memory?
