So here's what I'm picking out for the new server to have a reasonable budget but to pack it with a lot of oomph to handle all our crazy players who love to beat up stuff and RP
CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 - $365.99 PURCHASED (AWAITING DELIVERY)
Mobo
Abit IP35 Pro - $231.99 (Dual Gigabit Lan)
Video Card (PCI Express) - $38.99
For those wondering why not get onboard video in the mobo? Well I can't seem to find a LGA775 Socket that supports dual Gigabit LAN AND has onboard video so I went with a cheap video card just to get basic video capabilities.
Memory
Corsair Dual Channel TWINX 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz - $277.99
PSU
600 Watts Coolermaster - $79.99
That's a sub-total of $967.96
With shipping and handling that works out to about $1150 approx.
That's about it, I have a Scuzzy controller and a pair of drives to go with it so we won't have to get new hardrives and I have a junker case I can use to put it in.
I created a donate meter which is viewable on the forum index. The goal has been adjusted to $1300 as I also have to pay to upgrade my internet connection for the increased load.
