There's nothing magic about this kind of server hardware; if you're talking four or more CPUs and/or non-x86 architecture then there's a considerable real baseline price increase, but any old PC can do many server tasks. And a PC built with better-than-average components - good PSU, motherboard that you didn't buy at an open air market, maybe a 10,000RPM drive - should be just as durable as a purpose-built x86 server..
