Hey there,
Not to put a downer on the whole thing but what is your internet connection? you need pretty decent upload speeds to support 20 people on a tf2 server plus ts plus css.
and is it really worth it?
Considering I have a vps at 6 dollars a month perfectly capable of running tf2 and the next one up was only 14 or so.
I host with corgitech as they were cheapest, they have a 50 percent off code somewhere online.
It just takes all of the hassle out of it and saves u internet issues, download limit issues etc and at the end of it you dont have this old pc that you all bought in for and u have to work out how to split.
For $1000 you can buy and use a pretty damn good server for years without having to configure the os, worry about dropouts or connection issues etc.
We did a very similar thing except we used one of these - http://www.ebuyer.com/281915-hp-proliant-turion-ii-n40l-microserver-100-cashback-658553-421
But the internet connection let us down, its a fun thing to play with but eh, i just wouldnt bother.
try these - there is a 50 percent off one there too - http://domainpromocodes.com/coupons/corgitech/
and if you get the 50 percent off on a lower vps hosting plan, and want to upgrade the 50 percent carries over so u can get a lower one and if it doesnt suit get a better one.
I think that is definitely the way to go

What if I only hosted the TF2 Minecraft and CSS individually with teamspeak? Then have scheduled games? Would an average internet connection be enough?
