Not possible.
The CPU architecture and the motherboard circuitry is FAR different from the chipset you get for your standard PC. No matter how many CPUs you load, the rack server will beat any PC hands down on performance. Also a PC is not capable or equipped to run 24x7x365. At one point the SMPS will pop off or the CPU heats up.
Not to mention the SCSI hard disk is anyday faster than a IDE hard disk. Also rack servers have Load balancing at both hardware and software level.
No matter how high a sparrow flies, it can never become an Eagle (hehehehehe)

He has no successor, yet he did deliver out his desciples and all Christians after him to be a witness to the entire international. that does no longer mean that we are his successors, yet we are in a position to help by spreading out the interest.
