if this is for a BYOND server, that should do nicely, though a bit over powered - heck those machines you scrapped would work as servers too.

and you can chuck the graphics card. servers don't need fancy graphics to do their jobs (unless you are doing high-end graphics rendering, which would make it useless to host anything else at the same time anyway).

Holy poopoosnacks 0_0 You could host a BYOND game for sure! Why stop there, though, set up a private Ragnarok server or Ultima Online shard =P

:-P thanks for the input guys. MUAHAAHAH *pokes ColdSanta*. Anyways, Digitalmouse I was wondering if you could help me with Linux. I've been trying to set up Apache Xampp (for web hosting too) as well onto the server machine. Oh and..I made a mistake on my vid card. The All-In-Wonder radeon is an All-In-Wonder Radeon 9000 PRO.

Oh and. I got another system I salvaged from school. It's an old Silicon Graphics system actually.

P2 500mhz x2
384 mb SDram
2x 10 gb Scsi hd
1x 20 gb Scsi hd
and god knows what it has onboard but it has almost everything onboard except a 56K modem. Lmfao. (Ethernet, Sound, Tv-Tuner I believe, Video card, Sound is like..2 columns of Red Yellow White..)

Since he has dual P2's, maybe it's an old server or something

ehh... those aren't very good graphics cards... to me they're probably medium-low end graphics cards...

but anyways, that should be more than enough for stuff like BYOND...

Servers don't need gaming graphics cards.

Non-windows servers don't even need graphics cards at all once they're set-up. :)

neither do windows-based servers, really. have it use a dummy default vga driver for an onboard card, or run a headless server (designed to be logged into and worked on remotely).

MMMM. Headless chickens running around. Anyways Anux Saber why the hell would I even need a high end graphics card anyways? It's a server. My gaming machine uses and ATI X800 XT Platinum which pwns almost everything people are using right now i'm sure. Anyways, digitalmouse.. Help em with setting this thing up please?
