    Its called a LAMP install of any linux distro... Linux Apache MySQL PHP

    Even if you dont have any knowledge of linux, its very easy to set up (and there are countless guides on setting up linux server's).

    The benifits of using linux are: its free (as in speach, and most of the time beer), fast (you can run a server on older hardware) and secure (any security exploits which are found, are patched within days [instead of monthly like Microsoft])

    Install linux on your current machine and cut and paste the following into a terminal (in a debian based distro) "sudo apt-get install apache2 && sudo apt-get install"..... just kidding :p

    I've been using apache friends - xampp since last year, basically it lets you download two versions.

    Version one; you download and it install like any other windows program.

    Version two; its a zip file, you extract it where you want and run setup (this sets up all the paths etc, even if you move the files and run setup it works!)
