looking to make a server that can do a few things.

1. run minecraft (java application)
2. Be a file server
3. Use cobian backup http://www.educ.umu.se/~cobian/cobianbackup.htm

anyone have any good suggestions ? Basically im on a home network want to be able to have my pc's backup to the server and also have it be a file server for media so it can be accessed through my tv pc and also run a minecraft server so i can play minecraft with my buddies.

Thank you for your time computer forum community

p.s
here is the server specs that i have

Since your criteria is FREE, that eliminates all Windows OSes. Your best bet is to look into some Linux distros.
