I used to have an old PC which i used as GMod/file server, it died a while ago and i really want a new one, so i ask what is the best server i can get for around 400 Euro?
To host a gmod server? eh.....
You need a good deal of CPU power for a GMOD server, but a file server, you could really get any desktop you wanted and away you go.
You could use xp with file-sharing...
but I would use 2k3 or Ubuntu Server.

Yea, i knew i would have to focus on the RAM and CPU, but how power full does it need to be?
And the OS is not needed, already got XP left from my old PC and maybe i'll get Linux once GMod supports it.

much better :smile:
For the gmod server, it's more about upload speed than anything else.

True, but a GMod server also requires CPU power (Physics calculations)

The site i can buy off doesn't have those, what can you recommend from one of these processors :
[url]http://www.mycom.nl/Products/204.aspx[/url]
(And yes, it needs to be that website).
I would go with this:
[url]http://www.mycom.nl/Products/View/Phenom%20II%20X2%20550%20Black%20E,%20sAM3/237391.aspx[/url]
Alright, thanks.
Last question, would DDR3 make any of a difference compared to DDR2 for servers? what is the main difference anyway?
It wouldn't make a big difference, but since DDR3 costs the same as DDR2 now, I would go with it anyway.
Alright, i got the following build ATM, thoughts? :

For the RAM, see if you can find a 2x1 GB for the same price, you'll get better performance with dual channel memory
And the PSU is overkill, you could get away with the cheaper 400w Corsair no problem.

I was actually planning to take the said RAM twice, but i found a better Dual Channel kit, the new build is :

Coming to a total of 415 Euro.
Looks good.
