Low-Power Server?

Go to solution Solved by mkessler9,

I'm looking for a cheap build what I can tuck away and ssh into remotely every few days or whatever. I don't want this to use much power, so my parents don't notice an enormous rack on their power bill. 

I will be hosting probably CSGO servers on it, but I might also want to host more than 1 type of gameserver, so it must have some power.

Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Thanks.

For that it's probably just best to buy/use a normal computer. And also say you where to get a rack server(or any computer) that ran 24/7 at 300 watts. It would only cost around $25(varies a little depending on your local power plant) a month to power.

that is also dependent on the load, which a CS:GO server won't take that much horse power. In that case, I'd say it would be closer to $10 a month.

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ

Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

Ah, might aswell use my laptop for it, which I was planning to anyway. That sounds alright, then. Thanks, guys!
