That laptop should be good enough. Just make sure you have at least 100 GB of HDD space.

here is a small PC that will be very capable of running a temspeak server. You would probably want to put linux on it for a server.

or you could just use your laptop.

You could also use your laptop too. What are the specs?

You could also rent the server.
 


Teamspeak will never ever use 1 GB of RAM unless you have a huge server, like HUGE.
 
Wowo i didnt excpet hugw reply like anyway my laptop specs its msi 2 gb ram i3 hd 5460 something like that so will this be able or should i just get the pc you guys listed with 8gb of ram
 


A lot of people host servers with very little RAM, usually under 1 GB.

Just use Linux, Ubuntu is a good example.

1500$ baby
 


Nice build especially since you can always upgrade to SLI. The only thing I feel that should be changed is that Xeon to a K series i5 since it's a unlocked MB plus the capabilities of that CM 212 will be better off overclocking down the road if needed. But for the money it's still an excellent build, +1.
 


this

you dont even need an aftermarket cooler for the xeon.
