text: How many members you think would be on our server at onetime? 1,000? 10,000? I'm sure an octocore with no more than 32gig ram could handle that easy. the hardest part is how much do we want to store on it. Vid files are huge. Because we'd want 2x that in ssd hard drives. And actually, with said ssd drives, we could get away with quad core and 8 gig ram. ASUS has best motherboards IMHO, prolly cost $1,000 to build.
