Hey everyone,
This is not a post for testing the waters. I AM going to build a custom server and use it for LAN game hosting for gaming to make money and such as a server in many ways but gaming would be my main bet.
Question: Is it recommended to have a dual-CPU socket motherboard? I want Haswell-E and can wait til a dual x99 socket mobo comes out if two of those types of CPU's are a good idea or overkill for game hosting.
Question: Could anyone tell me the kind of specs I'd need to host 50 people playing a game like Runescape or Just Cause 2 on my own server? These are just examples. This would be what I'd aim for.
So I was hoping some of you guys might help link me parts for a complete build? My only requirements are below:
1) I want Haswell-E CPU (x99 chipset for the new Intel 8-core). I can afford two CPU's if it's recommended
2) A mobo with 2 or more GPU slots to fit the newest AMD Radeon GPU's (they are 12" long)
3) Run on Windows 7 Ultimate at least when it's being used for me in my personal time. (Don't worry about noise or heating up rooms, I have that all covered already).
This would be a small server, medium at most aiming for the $6000 range with $10,000 being my max
Thanks everyone!
