Hi,
I have an htpc, it has an i5 760 in it and a power Color 7850 and 4gb ram. Can I turn it into a server that can run Empyrion, Rust, Arma and some others so that me and my friends can play together without renting. Not play different games at the same time by the way. It would run one game then we would switch.

I also have a MacBook late 2009, could I do anything with that? I have no idea about server setup but if it's possible to use either of these I will start the research and the fun of getting it to work!
Thanks for looking
MinkiSan

I don't know bit I have set up team speak servers from here and used Hitachi to host a bunch of games. It's only going to be 4-6 people max. I have a static ip and have essentially a business connection though. 80mb connection but about 65 down and 20 up.

well sounds like your isp does allow servers , next step is to check whether what system requirements your games need for a server , i remember i bought a VPS for cod mw3 and they were underpowered .. you can buy a VPS too instead of setting up your own , you only pay a monthly fee
