Rack Server Help

[BadWorksFun]

For a rack server such as THIS! or THIS!!

Do I need anything else or can I just hook it up to my home router, plug it into a monitor and wall and then start my coding and then hosting. Or do I need this thing called a Server Switch and a special router like this??

 

Please Help I have no experience with rack servers and Don't want to waste money to find out I don't have everything and can't afford the rest... Please and thank you!

If you don't know what you are doing just use a normal computer with Linux or windows server and you will be fine.

As for your question you don't need that stuff but make sure your ISP allows hosting of servers and you have enough ports for your current router

You could use LogMeIn Hamachi for GMod.

IDK how many people can connect on a free account but there are upgrade options that will allow you to host 80 players

I would say go for the Lenovo only because it's more likely to be easily upgraded if needed

which one could perform the best for the least... Like Is 32GB and a i3 good... Gmod only uses a single core.

Rack is not a server. It's call rack because the case can be mounted onto a "rack".
