Hi
I'm moving from my current broadband which is 18mbps down / 0.89mbps up, to 40mbps down / 20mbps up (I live really close to the exchange, so It will be pretty close)
As I am expecting a <20 fold increase in upload bandwidth, I feel like I should do somthing with it...
I was considering buying a 2nd hand pc and running it as a dedicated games / voip server.
I was initaly thinking cs:go + vent. But obviously things can change, maybe cs:go will bore me before long? so I'd like somthing that's a bit more flexable than somthing that can just about manage running those.
I was thinking about looking for a machine similar to the following.
any kind of C2D CPU
2mb ram. 4mb would be nice?
Thats it.
Should be easily acheiveable for £50 I recon.
Should I set my sights higher? Are any other components important (hdd?)
any advice would be really aprichated. I really have no idea about the server side of things. I dont know what I should be loking for at all. I'm looking forward to getting into it, but at the same time want to do it right.
I think I might keep my eyes open on local collection ebay adds.
PS, sorry if this isnt in the right place? I couldnt find a more relevent section.
EDIT - I should probably add I have thought verry little about this. Its just an idea thats poped into my head in the last 15 mins lol.

usually can get them very cheap. 


I'm currently thinking windows 2008 r2 because I have never used any form of linux before, and to be honest, There is probably enough for me to learn with this project as it is.
