[djdrews]

i want a server that can run feed the beast well with low power consuption nothing to fancy i was wondering if an intel core i3 with 16 gb of ram windows 7 hp and a 120 gb ssd with a 250gb to 500 gb hdd for a backup and like a nvidia gt 630 or 640 would be good enough to run  feed the beast monster for me and 2 other people the internet connection will verizon fios 50/25 at my dads house

any dual core with 4GB+ will run Feed the Beast fine I had an old FTB server running off an old Acer laptop of mine with a 2Ghz dual core cpu and 3GB of RAM it worked quite well

You don't need that much hardware. You could just use 8 gigs of ram and some cheap hard drive that is at least enough to hold Windows and that's it. You also don't need a video card to run the server because it's not actually rendering the game.

Don't even bother with Windows, Ubuntu is free and can run a server just as easily. The only things that matter are RAM and CPU. These should do this very nicely.

ok i was gonna use a laptop but then i realized a desktop would be better in case i ever want to turn it into a gaming pc

i ran a MC server in my laundry room for over a year, i allocated 1gb of ram (would of allocated more, if that  pc had more) it has a Pentium something or other dual core @ 3.7 with the internal GPU. It ran a server fine with 3 ppl. A rule of thumb a vanilla server with NO lag 256mb per person. A MC server with plugins 256mbs per person with a extra 512mb for the server/plugins it self. so a plugins server needs 1gb for 2 ppl. A FTB server (vanilla) with 3-4 ppl would easly run with 1.5-2gb ram. Use the crappyest gpu u have or the internal one, because its just a server right.

i do have an old nvidia 5200 by pny 256mb gpu i could use

Nope, Ubuntu installs take about 5GB space on the drive, and MC Server files are almost always less than 1GB.

yeah true could i go for a bit faster ssd with the same storage

Yes, but it wouldn't matter either. I run a FTB server from my 1TB HDD while playing it with my sister and cousin on the same machine in my sig and it never stuttered because of the speed of the storage. Hell, I have even run it on my Mac Mini no problem.

so this ssd wouldnt help much any more than the other one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171667

Nope, especially since a ReadyCache SSD can only be used as a caching drive (helps speed up HDDs by temporarily storing most used files on it, wouldn't help you a bit.)
