Game server

[Wenty]

I'm thinking of building a game server that holds 28 peeps and I need a board, memory and cpu. I don't think I need to spend much but would like to know what's good but not crap.

Any help would be great.....Thanks!

- Which games?
- How many of those games at the same time?
- What PSU will you be using?
- Rackmount or standard ATX case?

Well I just ordered my stuff so here it is....... Right now a Tribes 2 server and maybe a TF2 or something else later. I will only run one game on it at a time. I have a 430 power supply already and a ATX case.

Foxconn A74MX-K AM2+/AM2 AMD 740G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Athlon X2 BE-2300 Brisbane 1.9GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM 45W Dual-Core Processor

Kingston 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory

Are you running Linux? Some Foxconn motherboards have terrible ACPI tables for Linux.
