Budget Modded Minecraft Server

[ListenUpKiddo]

Hello, im looking to build a modded minecraft server for 3-5 players.
I have a budget of around $150, and I already have 8gb of ram.

where you located, can probably find you a used server for about the same price.

Minecraft servers are very CPU intensive.

 

Your best bet is to buy a cheap old high-end office PC (probably a Dell Optiplex) off eBay and add more RAM and an SSD. If you need help choosing such a PC then I and others will be happy to help if you tell us which country you're buying in.

 

Those things are built like tanks (I have a 12 year old one still going strong on its original hardware, though it's slow by modern standards obviously.) But businesses get rid of them after just a few years, so pick up a more modern one and you'll be good to go.

 

For that budget you won't get the best experience, but it'll work.
