Got a Dual 2.0ghz Opteron 246 (same as two 2.0 amd 64 single core) and a board for $50 bucks shipped. I know its not great, but it will be a good 3x performance boost from the 2.2ghz Athlon XP we currently use.
I will have to get a case, some memory, and a PSU see how does. My budget is $200 for this, so I have to go cheap. Another good part about this, is I can stick dual 2.8ghz dual core chips in there, and almost tripple the power of it at any time (but it will cost about $300 to do that).
So over the next month or so I will update the progress of the server, but prepare for multiple modded L4D servers, and space for L4D2 servers as soon as it comes out.
What I am looking for is the cheapest DDR400 ECC memory I can find, the more the better, since newegg has it for 50ish per gig, I may start out with 2gb at first, unless I can find a shit ton for cheap, supports up to 8 4gb chips (32GB).
