dedicated box?

[puritania]

Just curious what I need as far as a dedicated box goes to run a few CS:S servers, and rent them out for teams.

Your asking what you need to rent servers out to people? So your basically asking for instructions on how to compete with Counter-Strike.com?

[puritania]

no. even if i dont rent them out to people. im just wondering what i need to get a few servers up on my own without renting them online.

Multiple computers running multiple dedicated servers

the one you dl from steam? i cant get that thing to work
im wondering what i need. i mean do i just buy a server from dell? if so then how do i actually get a game server up on that.

The only way to get the type of server up and running that you want is a dedicated server. I wouldn't go out and buy a server from dell (At least unless you know if your internet connection is good enough to run a server, anything less then a T1 connection will result in a poor server that can only run a couple players at once)

o.O??? i have NO idea what you guys are saying, lol. but you guys (whoever owns cstrike.com) get your servers for free, right? i mean, you dont have to pay yourself for a server. im asking, how do you set up a business like you guys have, just ONLY so i could run a server for myself, and have it be free, because i cant afford to pay monthly for one
