Thanks,

Thank you all!

Try join me on !OSF Scrim -- NO LAG-- please. I'm testing a dedicated server now.

Guys,
I’m looking into hosting at I3D.Net for our main server. We have some options:
- Colocation. We need to get our own HW. I’m looking for 2nd hand stuff: For example Dell 1850. Investment in the 100 – 200 euro ballpark. http://www.i3d-gameserver.de/colocation_rackspace.php Extra Small would mean 50 euro a month.

Advantages apart from price: complete ownership of HW, setup and test at home. Complete freedom of what we install. Disadvantages: HW costs and travel.

- Rent the server also; see http://www.i3d.net/dedicated-servers-root-servers.php> I think their Fasttrack 2 offering is the one we need, but it is pretty short on memory. 60 euro a month.

Advantages: Fast available. Complete freedom of what we install. Disadvantage: memory might be too little

- Rent the game server.
o 24 slot public debranded server costs 53 euro a month
o 26 slot public debranded server costs 57 euro a month
o 32 slot public debranded server costs 65 euro a month.

If we pay for 6 months ( at the start) we don’t have to pay the 50 euro setup costs. If we would move away completely from our current hosting party, we need to host the web site and teamspeak on another server as well. But both could run from my home server for free.

Advantages: Fast available. Disadvantages: not complete freedom. We have FTP access only to install mods.

Guys,

Some of my PC images:

You choices look good. Might wanna spend a bit more on the graphics card, for crysis at least. Can't you re-use your old box?

Check azerty.nl and salland.eu for components. Or use pricewatch option at tweakers.net. You will get a good and fast overview of shops.

Im planning to build a new rig as well.
be-quit power (dark power 1200)
asus rampage III (this is still on pre-order)
memory corsair 2000Hmz C8
Video NVidia CTX 480
Intel I7-X980

I plan to overclock with watercooling with sets from Innovatek and Koolance. Ripley overclocks the 920. You might wanna ask him for experience with this processor.

But we need to see you in teamspeak...

I vote yes for Tryton

Hes definitly not Fedor. I vote yes

Guys, I just want to keep everyone informed with the transition to a new hosting company. At this moment all our virtual machines are running on one piece of HW (an 8 core dell 2950 with 32 gbyte). Our hosting company (http://technologypeople.nl/) has placed all other services on this machine as well. This might cause extra lag on our servers. In the new location we expect to have better pings and less lag because we will profit from a better uplink to the internet backbone in the Netherlands and we will be able to experiment with a dedicated machine (dell 850 with 4 Gbyte). I expect that the transfer takes place somewhere half April.

Ginia i vote YES

Guys,

Here is a proposal for making our server better (=less lag + more people). Currently our amsterdam Mesa server is a virtual machine running on a big ass Dell poweredge 2950 octocore server. The VM however uses only a bit of its power.

We are moving our HW to a new location (Equinix). This will impove our access to the internet backbone.

The proposal is to buy dedicated HW like this offer here: dell poweredge EURO 250. This machine should be fast enough for 40+ people. In addition to the initial cost we need to pay for the current = EURO 50 per month.

Luckily, the owner of the current HW is willing to loan us the server to try things out. He has a spare rack server Dell PowerEdge SC1425 Intel Xeon 3300.

I'd like to go this route, but i cannot pay for everything, so who is willing to monthy donate?

Tanktop.
