yes the isp
Comcast is one of the "stinkers"
if you said yes to there eula than you said no to hosting a site on the non commercial account
you NEED to buy a license for a commercial account
BUT if you do then you can NOT have cable tv at the Home office ( or house)
I'd go with John VV's answer. It should work. I'll go farther. I'll say that you will be able to run a server os on that and have it connect to some tcp/ip even if you have to buy a $4 nic. If any small problems happen I'd suspect someone on this forum would be able to fix it. Usually the main part works but audio or some non-server related deal fails.
CentOS 5.5 (or the not yet out CentOS 6 )
will work on most new hardware .
there might be some "odd" very very new things that might not yet be supported .
But the chance is VERY small
a budget machine would have standard off the shelf parts .
