gameserver

Am left with a Spare PC . So , I thought of converting it to a Server kind of thing.

I read about NAS Serer for simple file storage. But it is just a file server. I also play games like counter strike and other online games. So, I would like to use the same server for those purpose., so that a game server will running all the time so that me and my friends can join any time.

Is running NAS server a best option or, is there any better arrangement possible so that my spare system can act better than a simple file server
