I host what are probably among the largest LAN parties in my local town, which are nothing special or big, really, but I hope to build them up to be. Sponsorship isn't something that comes easily in my region, so I have to fund-raise through the LAN to purchase LAN equipment.
Now that I have some decent switches, I wanted to get advice what would be a relatively inexpensive, but pretty good build for a LAN party dedicated server. I plan to have it small, so that it's easy to take to and from the LANs & although I don't expect to find any brand name chassis, I plan to get one like the BitFenix Prodigy or smaller, like an HTPC basically.
The rest I can figure out, but I need advice on what would be a good & cheap lil' mobo + CPU for it?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: in the way of a chassis, I'd be looking to build it in something like this: SilverStone SUGO SG02-BF Black ABS / SECC Steel Mi...
