Hey guys, I'm planning to build a server for hosting game servers, BitTorrent Sync, and Plex. I've been messing around in PCpartPicker but I wanted to see what you guys think. I've listed some guidelines.

 

Game servers (only for friends, so 5-10 people only)

 

  -Half-Life: Deathmatch Source

  -Minecraft

  -Counter-Strike: Source

 

Requirements/Guidelines

 

  -I'm on no specific budget but keep price as low as possible.

 

  -Small

    -mATX or ATX (Need some PCIe slots, so mITX won't do)

    -Can be slim, but doesn't have to be.

 

  -Quiet

    -Pick parts with loudness in mind, It's going to be in my room and I don't want to hear it.

 

  -Efficient

    -It will be running 24/7, so I don't want it to use too much power.

 

  -Preferably two 1TB HDDs in RAID 1

 

Thanks.

A man of charm with strange quarks.

Have you considered AMD's APU's? Might get the job done. Then again I don't know how it would perform in this kind of scenario. I'm not an expert or anything.

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.
