So I've basically come to the conclusion my  4GB RAM Lenovo Laptop is useless and managed to sell it for £300. 

I've been running bots on it and they've all survived and made a small profit. But I have only manage to run 2 a time so it's been a complete waste of time, especially when I have 20 bots. 

I've got £700 to invest, can somebody please recommend me a setup whereby I can run 20-50 bots if I need to, I don't necessary plan on running 50 at once, but if it ever comes to it, then it would be nice to have the option.

I've seen the Dell Precision T3600 Workstation Eight 8-Core Xeon 64GB RAM Tower Lot, assuming I could get it with Xeon E5, 64GB RAM, but not sure on Hard Drive size, 240GB or 1TB, if it even matters? Or if I should get it at all if I can get something better with £700? Would obviously rather go for the cheaper option but willing to invest.

 

 

Please could somebody help me forget that useless Lenovo Laptop and recommend a good setup. I don't understand CPU, processors etc, from what I've read the main thing is RAM and CPU, please help, thanks.

Definitly build a pc of your own. Order the parts online and build it. You would get alot more from the money you spend.

Thanks for the reply but I wouldn't even know where to start. I'd give it a go at building it, but I'd need some wiz kid to tell me exactly what to buy, so some recommendations would be nice if possible

you can get a old workstation off ebay cheap, best just o look and see what you can get.

This is what you want

8 - 12 Mirror

16 - 20 Stealth

Low power mobile processor.

$400 - $500

I got a Dell PowerEdge R820 with 48 cores. I got it refurbished off Ebay for about 1500. I havent put enough accounts together to max it out but with 60 accounts it was at about 30% CPU usage. They were on stealth, low cpu, no render. 

You can probably find one with 24 cores within your budget and it should handle 50 bots easily.

The Rzbox isn't available in the UK, can I find something similar on Amazon?

Anything with 16gb ram and a 5800H or 5800U CPU

So not an answer to your topic, but an alternate suggestion. Why not run your bots in AWS or some other cloud provider? no up front costs, and infinite scalability.
