Bandwidth is being taken care of. What the concern is right now is hardware. I've built plenty of desktops in my time, but nary a server. I have very limited knowledge of the differences in part selection.
I guess my questions are about where to spend the money if it's a gaming server. What are the bottlenecks? It will be used for HLDS for day of defeat and hopefully source engine stuff too.
CPU? (intel vs amd, dual?)
RAM? (1gb vs 2gb, ECC?)
STORAGE? (scsi vs sata, raid 0, 1, 5?)
Anyway, I could use suggestions. Thanks!
