buying a computer for botting HELP ME CHOOSE

As the title says this next month I'll have about 400 bucks to waste so I figure why not waste it on something that will make me a little money.

So far this are the best choice I can find, I'd like to know if you can find a better one for under 400 bucks let me know where [ must include shipping etc.]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Also if you can tell me how many bots this computer or the computer you mention can handle that would be great I usually use nexus, epicbot and rsbuddy if that matters.

 

Would you be ok with building one?

edit: If your looking to build one I will help you spec out a perfect pc able to run 20 bots.

 

with 400 bucks your not gunna get the best computer i don't think you will be able to build a very big bot farm with that.

 

you're better of building you're own

focus on the cpu, cpu cooler, ram, and buy a case that has room for a ton of fans. Don't spend much money on harddrives or graphics cards. Oh and install ubuntu it uses far less ram than windows 7 so you'll be able to run more bots

 

It would be my first time building one but I'm fairly confident that I can. the only problem is I would need a os.

I understand this, I'm basically just getting the new computer because my old one is about to kick the bucket and has been in a sorry state for quite some time. I just want to get the most out of what I can afford to make the most profit from it.

is ubuntu free? Also are all bots compatable with it? I don't feel like doing 50 steps just to get my bots to run like I need to do with linux\noppix etc.

 

ubuntu is free

 

Rsbuddy is very easy to run on ubuntu as for the others I do not know.

 

ok cool guys keep the info coming please.

 

I'd say save up some money, you might get 2-3 bots out of that.

A better example of what you want to save for:
Intel® Core™ i7-2600 Processor
(8M Cache, 3.40 GHz) - I overclock to 3.8 at times.

16 GB DDR3 SDRAM

And 1tb harddrive

I installed Ubuntu and can run around 26 bots with this and run around 92% CPU. This is a simple 870$ setup.

 

DONT GET A COMPUTER, im telling you dont spend 400$... Get a 20$ VPS and try it out then you can keep getting more. It is MUCH more efficient and its like your own computer. PM me if you need help

 

Not worth it buying a new PC for a bot-farm, and if you do you'll need more than $400 to spend.

 

You'll need a better processor, cooling system (preferably liquid), and more RAM.

 

Invest that 400$ bucks in dedicated / vps servers, so after you make some money you simply buy better PC.

 

i built mine for cheap i easily run 5 bots at a time no problem at all. And i did not spend alot to build.

 

I'd get amd phenom II six-core cpu

 

thanks guys but about the vps I'm not buying the computer just to bot my current computer is about to die processor constantly crashing takes up to 2-3 hours just to load up before I can use it lol so vps are out of the question.

 

for 4xx $ i bought me this:
phenom II 955
4GB 1333Mhz ram
hdd sucks
21,5 inc screen with 1000:1 static contrast.
gigabyte MB ga-ma790xt-ud4p
radeon HD 5870

Thermaltake G case with 4 fans.

If anything is holding me back for running more bots what would it be?
I think it is more ram i need?

 

how many cores is the processor and how many ghz it have?

also to the above who was talking about their 870$ setup yours seems to be a single core, mine is quad meaning I have 4 processors running at the 3.0

anyways I have already purchased a computer now I need to make a new thread to find out how many bots I can use.

oh also to the person who was willing to help me build one I am still interested in this but would like to spend more money on it. which I'll have as soon as I sell my car. So please contact me and we can do this I'll even pay you a little for your time.

 

20 bots with $400 budget?
I'd like to know more about this...

 

I was thinking about doing almost the same thing but I decided to get a dedicated server.
