    A 10+ year old single core processor with Socket A mobo - me no think 64bit was invented back then...(kidding about the back then part)

    Too bad you don't live closer... I have a few of similar dated computers I'm having trouble giving away.

    What do you normally do?

    Just a suggestion here:
    Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 which has 2 ps/2 ports
    or the
    Gigabyte GA-970A- D3 Full ATX Motherboard;
    AMD FX 8120 3.1Ghz;
    Corsair Vengeance 8GB Memory;
    And you will need a new power supply.

    ISPs will "Lease" a block of 5 Static IP Addresses - most, for any type of account - Price per month varies. However, what you want to do is a lot more than just hosting with an IP Address that would not change.

    To avoid volumes of questions and answers, Google is your friend. Way too many details for a forum thread or even eMail correspondence.
