Brilliant! Thanks for all the help and advice mate. Ill have a look at better power-per-core CPUs.

Thanks for the reply! Is there like a minimum spec server build you could recommend? (to be able to comfortably run a server as described and maybe more). ie Mobo, CPU, Mem, etc, etc. I can't seem to find much info in the way of builds that work well with Arma. Thanks again for the reply.

Hello guys, I am VERY new to servers but have some experience building PCs. Just wondering if I could just get an old tray server from eBay and stick an OS on it to run a dedicated server from. The server would be for co-op missions (PvE with AI) for up to around 32 players. I've been looking at an old Dell PowerEdge R710 server with 2 x Intel Xeon X5680s, 2 x 300GB SAS HDDs, 12 x 4GB DDR3 1600MHz memory cards. Would the old machine be enough or am I missing something? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!
