Maybe a old computer you don't use anymore.

You can host a server on your computer but don't expect any performance at all.
If its just to muck around yourself that is fine.
But if you want other people to join they will all lag and have very high ping.
Just stating the obvious here.

And buy another computer only for game hosting? When I host it from my computer is ok, but my computer can't be all the day on.

That's what I'm searching, do you know if a barebone pc or something support Linux and servers?

Sure, you can just install any OS you want. Ofcourse as long as it's supported.

I want the last Version of Linux to install the Open Game Panel (OGP), can you help me to build a computer for it?

Why not just rent a game server from a host?
Surely that is much, much cheaper than buying a computer, leaving it on 24/7 while it consume electricity just to be severely bottlenecked by your internet connection.
