is it recommended

and why

i simply don't need it anymore as a server, so would love to take advantage from using it as a pc ...

Answer 1

yes you can however in order to get the most from the system you will want to use a 64bit version of windows.  32 bit operating systems will only utilize up to 3.25gb of ram.   I would highly recommend going with vista ultimate x64.
