If all he bought the laptop for was to host the server, then i agree with flamingeck. Hosting is cheap, go that route to host pics, and simple apps.

However if you want more demanding services then a home server environment is the way to go!.... many 100'GB data store, Exchange for email, MS SQL database, etc...
