Help me build a server...

[Rand Dusing]

I don't really want to spend over 150 dollars. I need a hd, mobo, processor, video card, ps, and case. Do you know any good deals where I can get the case with pc and motherboard with onboard video. Then I will only need a HD. I have a 357 mhz server right now. And I know 1 gig or around there will significantly help it. I don't really want to get a new ISP, do you think 256k upload would be ok for running an SOF2 server?

Oops, I'll be needing some cheap memory too.

how many players are you expecting on it?

In other words your looking for a complete system with a 1gig Processor for $150.00. LOL

Sorry to leech off your thread:

How many players can a 1500/128 connection support (with <50 ping) on a CS or DOD server?

your going to have to spend a pretty penny on a nice MOBO CPU and RAM. The rest can be complete crap. If you are gonna have a lot of stats, or saved things, you may want a fast HD, but it can still be small.

I'd say ~$60 MOBO
~$75 CPU
~$140 RAM (1 gig)
~$250
plus other tiny junk

You're looking at $300 for a good server.

joker, UT servers suggest that no more than 4 players on a 1500/128 line can play until a ping of 100 is met.

UT is very similar to CS in online data transfer, but on many occasions i find rooms containing 12 and 15 people on lines such as yours, so its debatable.

my 5000/5000 line can handle a room of 32 people at a 30 ping easy, but thats a whole 'nother story

It takes about 5kB/s to support each player. 128kb is 16kB. You'll be able to hold 3 players nicely, 4 is really pushing it.

Hmm 300? My friend says he might be able to get me a 5xxmhz thunderbird for free. Should I spend like $100 bucks for a mobo,RAM, and hd for it?

[Rand Dusing]

DPA how much does your 5k line cost?
