How many people will be playing minecraft at once?
I have a minecraft server on my N36L with 8GB RAM. It works fine for me 
and the kids, but would probably not be able to cope with a whole heap 
of users on it.
I added an internal disk in the optical bay and an external 8-bay 
enclosure and mini-PCI express bringing it to 13 disks in total 
attached. Fun times :)
