Hi all, Thanks again for all the information, I did some more research about hardware. 4 CPU socket servers are a bit harsh te get. Or does anyone know brand/type? Looking for 500-1000 eur refurnished price range. I found a better alternative with in total 24 cores. Running a botfarm with 50 bots max seems good for testing the waters: DELL POWEREDGE R630 8X 2.5" Price is €600 with no ram or harddrives (I can get those for free) CPU 2x Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 - 2.50-3.30GHz / 12Core, 24Threads / QPi 9.60 / Cache 30MB / TDP 120W Heatsink 2x Heatsink for R630 P/N: 0H1M29 RAID Controller Onboard RAID SATA Controller S130 (Software RAID) NDC - Network Daughter Card Dell Broadcom 5720 Quad-Port Gigabit P/N: 0FM487 Power Supply Unit 750W 2x Power Supply Dell, 80+ PLATINUM, 750W P/N: TPJ2X, 0TPJ2X Would this be a good server? I can make it cheaper if I choose 2x 450W but not sure if that is enough? Kind regards

Okay, thank you very much for the given advice! Kind regards, Notafeg

Thanks for the reply, So if I do understand you correctly: With this motherboard I can equip 24x 8GB = 192gb of ram tatal Seems decent for first botfarm.

HI all, I'm interesting in buying a refurnished server for botting. Found an internetstore with depot close by. Custom setup: HP PROLIANT ML350P GEN8 CPU Xeon E5-2650 / 2.00GHz / Eight Core / QPi 8.00 / Cache 20MB / TDP 95W / 64-bit P/N: SR0KQ, SR0H4 CPU 2 Xeon E5-2650 / 2.00GHz / Eight Core / QPi 8.00 / Cache 20MB / TDP 95W / 64-bit P/N: SR0KQ, SR0H4 HDD 1 x 1000GB 7.2K SAS 2.5" Dual port, 6G, ORIGINEEL DELL [P/N: 9W5WV, 09W5WV] Power Supply Unit 2 x 2x HP 460W Platinum, Power Supply, HSTNS-PL28 P/N: 643931-001 Question: How many bots can I run on this? I'm looking to run 30-50 bots. There is no RAM in the custom setup because I can get free ram. 128GB should be enough for that processing power I suppose? The total cost is around 700 eur. Any tips? Kind regards. Hungry lad.
