I plan on building a server but I really don't know where to start. I've been told that I don't need to have a GPU since it's a server, is that right? Also, would I need a to run a E6600 to have a decent server or not? I've been looking around go "go-by's" or minimums but I can't find anything. any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
 
Well you need to start somewhere...

What type of server? For how many people.. What OS? Do you have a direct internet connection, what speed?
 
BF2142, 48 or 64 person, windows XP.
I have ADSL at 1G. (1000mbps just so you know what I ment and not reply with me being a moron or anything :))

What are you serving ? If it was a basic web server then you wouldnt need anything like a e6600. You would be better getting a prebuilt one from dell or somewhere because you get a real server motherboard and warranty.
 
battle front , i run a hl2 server and alot depends on your upload speed for the amount of players you can have on your server,eg my server can go to 14 people with an upload speed of 768kbs.

So I guess that means you are with Virgin Media.
 
BF2142 = Battlefield 2142
It's a FPS (first person shooter)
I plan on running a 48 to 64 person server.
Good to know that you guys are with Virgin Media, but that doesn't help me still :P
What kind of build would I be looking at for a game server?
