Sorry, I don't understand you here.
Could you explain a PC server to me ?
The general use of "server" in merry old Europe is a friggin'
big machine which manages at least 10 - 20 users;
while also coordinating "mail-servers" (which can be PCs),etc.
Has the slang on your side of the pond changed again ?

Cheers,
