150 bucks for my server solution

[frx218]

I was looking to buy some cheap parts like a p3/w a cheap mobo for my server. Bargaining with my friend I was able to pick these up for $150:

ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe
AMD 2400+ Barton
1 gig Corsair XMS series ram
Radeon 9000

Little rusty on specifics

I am going to pick up a decent full tower case and probably two 250 GB HDs

This server is going to be way better then my expectations and probably be able to host mediocre games like cs or war craft.

Any ideas or suggestions for potential buys?

Cool it well. It will be able to run more than just "mediocre" games.

Yah but it wont host my hl2 deathmatch

its a lot better than my server

550mhz celeron
64mb ram (will upgrade befor server use)
10gb hard drive
intel 4mb video

im only going to use it for some php stuff for my site, the main site will be on another server.



i bet i could get the 1gb of ram for $150... i wish i had friends like yours.

No problem hosting an HL2 server on that rig. Nice price for those parts.
