There is no need to set up a server to try out Subversion.

Install TortoiseSVN 1.7.1. Create a new directory C\:repos.
Right-click on that directory, pick "TortoiseSVN->Create repository here"

This gives you a repository to play with on the local machine.
You can access it with TortoiseSVN, and other clients, with this URL:
file:///C:/repos

Please read Chapter 2 of the red-bean book before proceeding.
It explains the basics quite well.
