Poweredge1950 as a Gaming Server?

[Narshredder]

Hello!

I recently found a deal on a Dell Poweredge 1950 server with a E5410 Quad Core XEON (2.33Ghz), 4Gb RAM, and 2x 250Gb Hard Drives. I am wondering if its worth running Windows Server as the OS and then running a small TF2 or CS:GO server.

Thanks in advance!

Eh, you do know you can rent servers for games for fairly cheap these days from server providers (eg streamline, techge3ks, multiplay) This can prove to be a lot easier than hosting your own server, but if you are really focused on hosting your own, this machine should do the job.

Awesome, I am an aspiring to go into Networking as a career, I figured I'd get a rack server and tinker around with it.

Thanks for the reply!
