They use a PC that runs solely on steam power for the server.
And the rest is funded by their school/college/whatever you wanna call it.

...its not that expensive.. bandwidth is cheap in sweden, and it only requires a computer or two for servers [web/game]... Why couldn't they afford it?

You see, Fjords are naturally occurring internet hubs. Now, technically they're all in Norway, but a number of broadband-sharing agreements exist in which Norway offers bandwidth to Sweden and receives a portion of the wealth mined from Sweden's massive taco mines.
Surprise.

Afford? The server is a Frankensteinian creation built using parts salvaged from old laid-off 'puters of ours. This technological marvel of the steam age stands in my apartment, on secure footings underneath one of my two computer tables. One pair of old socks -- that should really go into the washer -- adorns it. We don't have any expenses, save the time we put into the project. We pay for a couple of domain names, but it's negligible.

When religions get implemented, I'm totally making one that worships this sock, and I'll crusade until everyone converts to it.
