Hello, Its been a while, but I will get right to it. I have a small datacenter here in New Hampshire, and I got several servers sitting around doing a bunch of nothing. If I was to setup a dedicated game server for everyone here at TWHL, what would you wanna have? Source? Goldsource? etc etc. And would anyone be willing to manage it? I know howto setup a dedicated server, but besides that i do not know how to do much more with it, like adding game status pages and stuff like that. Im thinking I would setup a server with a clean install of linux or windows 2003 server, and just give some people remote access to it, who are willing to manage it. What do you guys think?

Maybe a CSGO server? depends on what kind of machines you have running.
I still run my half-life server if anyone wants to jump on, though i need to write PB to put it back on the list. I could manage it if you need a guy.

Pics of the datacenter please :D

I agree, a CSGO server would be nice.

Timezone/lag issues aside, I'm sure it would work provided the set-up is stable and the people in charge come up with regular events, etc. Give me or any of the Steam group admins a shout if you need events set up in the future.

The server I am gonna use it a HP DL360, 80 GB of HDD Space(RAID-Mirroring), 4 GB of RAM, and Dual 3.06 Ghz Xeons, Has 1 1000Base-SX optical connection back to the switch. Internet that this server is on, is a business class Comcast connection, so speed should be fine, but if it is an issue, I will switch it over to the level3 connection. So as far as games, what will this support? And here is a webcam of the place http://cam1.dothackinc.com, dont mine the mess, getting ready to do some landscaping outside the building. CSGO, is counter strike global offense, is that a steam game? or WON type game.

It comes in on fiber, hits a CPE and the handoff is a 1000Base-SX port, that feeds the routers. Aright so servers are good to run anything, When i get back to the data center this week i will get a server ready, should i go the linux route or windows, any suggestions? After i get it setup, we can figure out the administration part of it.

Windows opens up more possibilities as far as running multiplayer mods goes (most mods don't provide linux binaries), but either will work fine if you're just running CS:GO.

Both will work, windows is just easier to admin when you don't have much experience with unix.

Right. So a Doom server should be in order then.
