    7 replies, posted
I'm looking to build a server computer, for the purpose of running two small game servers (MC and a source one, possibly a second source one), as well as a small to medium size website. I want to have the ABILITY to upgrade it easily in the future, so I'm willing to go a but on the higher end on some of the parts. Obligatory info; -Budget: 300-400 dollars -Newegg can ship to me -Don't need a screen, mouse, or keyboard -Looking for the cheapest case possible that doesn't overheat to shit Thanks for any and all help I can get!
Help soon would be appreciated, I need to try and be able to order the parts before the holidays.
I'd give you a hand, but I'm useless at servers. I'll give it a try soon.
