Hi everyone,
Im looking to build a dedicated game server to use at LAN parties. Ive built gaming PCs but never a rig purpose built for use as a game server. Games we play typically include CS:S, COD4, UT2004, C&C. As for numbers... I wouldn't mind seeing builds for 24, 32 and 48 player networks. Minimum of 24 players is a must though.
I honestly have little idea what sort of spec I should be aiming for. I'm open to all suggestions and advice.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: As soon as possible. Within a few weeks.
BUDGET RANGE: £500 ($800) but kept to a minimum. I don't want to spend more than I have to.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: none. A complete build.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: ebuyer.com , aria.co.uk
PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel > AMD, nVidia > ATI =P
If I can provide any more info do ask.
Thanks,
Jake
