Is there a way to make my Desktop (running Windows 7 Pro) to a server and install Counter Strike Source then I can play with my friends online? Thank you :-)

Yes, you can do that.

You are looking for a dedicated server.

If you want to make it reachable for your friends you will need to configure port forwarding in your router and setup dyndns.
