Beats me.

It's intended be a basic server, or at least that's what I've contracted from the description.

Also, I have a monitor and cables and such, no worries there.

Comes with heavily outdated hardware and no CPU/RAM to begin with.  Then again it's $80.

Can't argue with outdated stuff, but it comes w/ 2GB DDR2 RAM (Loel outdated) and looking for the CPU, I'll get back to that one.

they don't deal with visually demanding stuff

Doesn't everyone play PC Games off their server?

It doesn't.  It has a stuffty nForce integrated GPU which sucks huge balls but gets the job done for just showing you a picture.

Doesn't say it comes with any RAM, only a mobo, chassis and PSU.

servers host things, you don't use servers to play games

well I didn't mean this one specifically

Some supercomputer servers can use high end GPUs.  It's becoming more common to use GPUs for massive amounts of calculation because high end GPUs can handle so much more information and calculations than a typical CPU.  That's why graphics in games are so pretty these days, because they do over 3/4 of the work.
