Lewis Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 looking to get my own server to run bots on, looking at some like this:http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=64gb+ram+server&_osacat=175698&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X32gb+ram+server.TRS0&_nkw=32gb+ram+server&_sacat=175698Main question is can i actually use these to run bots aha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappster Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Yes you can. You don't need 32gb of ram tho lol. Focus on a server with a better CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemons Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 These aren't really designed for OSRS botting, more of running webservers (High IO, low CPU). You want closer to a consumer desktop computer, you'd prob be better off building one from scratch (just get onboard vid/cheap GPU, its useless for botting).

Bucket1337 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I dont think youll need 32gigs of ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 im planning to run around 60-150 bots (multiple servers if need be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should give you a good starting place. Some people hate AMD CPUs, but it's honestly unwarranted. For the cost, they are great CPUs. They run hot if you overclock though, so keep that in mind.

You really want to focus on the single core/thread performance. Then you also have to look at colocation prices and IP prices to store those servers usually when you get servers off ebay there old and use loads of power and power is a bit spender in data centers. Id say just think the whole process through before ordering anything. Hell if your on a budget just use OVH. If that does not work when I need servers built and I'm on a budget I usually get http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/mrrackables?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 to build my servers for me because they don't give you old crappy hardware.

Can vouch for MrRackables very good ebay re-seller. i have bought a few servers for some friends who wanted a NAS box for media. not sure what kind of config to look at for botting. (since i just use my gaming rig.) Whatever hardware you do end up using. make sure the base OS is linux of some variety. as with 60+ bots you will need more than what windows provides for process management and memory consumption. not to mention advantages like bash scripts and cron jobs.

THS Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 This has really peaked my interest in doing this. Whichever route you take I'm interested to see what happens.

Also thanks for this, might consider putting together a high CPU machine strictly for this purpose. Do you or does anyone else have any idea how many clients/bots you'd be able to crank out with this sort of setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you or does anyone else have any idea how many clients/bots you'd be able to crank out with this sort of setup? Can probably run 6 clients running well written scripts. 8-10 if you are willing to run in low resource mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hopefully you understand the 3 'problems' on server hardware - Heat, you can easily heat up a small apartment to +5-10 degr. celcius with only few servers - Noise (You don't want to live within same space with the server) - Power consumption, depending on your configuration but will add-up to be clearly seen in bill.
