I can do much better units that less expensive.
I choose diskless setup to less electricity usage.
I plan to build 10 client units, 1 timer units and 1 server
units. I choose separate timer and server to avoid
hangs and logs.
Why 10 units? Mostly adult play Lan or multiplayer
games example. 3vs3 or 5vs5.
I want to add another incomes like photo printing,
typing job and another service that related to internet
thats why need higher specs server to do task easy
without hang and logs.
