I know it's danish, but look at the specs. It is cheap, and is a quard core CPU, also supporting AM3 socket.

Yep, it haves socket AM3. dual cored also. Is this a good set?

[Jelle]

If I were you I would get a athlon x4 instead of x2. They cost nearly the same, and you really are better off using a x4. Then you can have double as many servers running.

Do you mean this one?

3 ghz 4 cored?

It costs 1000 sek

I have AMD x6 1090T 3.2gz ;)

avril-lavigne. Was that post for showing off or just for helping? Do you even know what we're talking about?

[Jelle]

Yes, that CPU would be a great one. It has 4 cores instead of 2, and with the speed of 3Ghz it should easily run servers with about 30 - 35 clients each core. Depending on your RAM ofcourse.

I'ma start out with 2gb ram, and upgrade at need. Any tips for chassi and cooling system?

[Jelle]

2GB RAM should be fine to begin with. You can always upgrade that later if needed.

Again, I can only talk from my own experience. I know that CoolerMaster CM 690 II advanced is a very, very nice chassis. I use it now for my watercooler computer, and it really can get some airflow through it, using the right fans ofcourse.

As goes for CPU cooler, there is one provided with the CPU itself, and should be more than enough if you got 690 II advanced. However, if you want to cooler it more, I can say good for zalman 9960 cooler (or 9950, I can't remember), that is the cooler I had before my water cooling. I have also heard that coolermaster V8 or V10 should be very nice. The V10 also cools your RAM a bit, but it is quite large.
