I was sitting in work the other day when I heard a manager and the IT guy discuss their plans to just dump some of the remaining Dell servers as we've moved to a cloud based system. Seizing the opportunity I managed to snatch the last one without really thinking it through (free stuff eh).

Its an old Dell Poweredge 1850, bought approximately 7-8 years ago. Now I've to supply a new IDE hard drive, which I have a few spare, but now that I've got it I'm wondering will it run Arma 3? I'm looking at a single instance of maybe 20-30 players, a few mods and Patrol ops, possibly the headless client. Then a small team speak server for the players.
Will it work? If so what needs done to it? Or is it just a pipe dream?
Heck could it run Arma 2 or even DayZ (when the server files are released)?
Your help and advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
