Hi there,

I need to start some Game Dedicated servers and I would appreciate if someone could suggest what hardware configuration should I buy.

Machine should easily carry following servers:

Counter Strike 1.6 Public linux dedicated server (32 max players)
Counter Strike 1.6 Clan War linux dedicated server (15 max players)
Counter strike: Source (32 max players)

Of cource I would like to know one hardware configuration that can hold all three games, and two separate machines of which one would carry CS 1.6 public and CS 1.6 clan war servers and the other would carry CS Source server since it is more demanding.

Thanks ahead. (internet connection is not in question, I have 50 Mbit optical)

What is your upstream speed? That is what decides how many you can host on your server.

Have you checked the CS sites and forums for tech specs you need?
I'd guess that 3.0Ghz Zeon 5050, AMD 3200+ or Opteron 246 and 2GB RAM, Gigabyte LAN running Linux would meet the top requirement.
