Everyone freaks out at the word free. So i've said it, now run in fear.
I have a terrible hobby of building machines and doing dedicated / colocations. This time i've simply just got extra space and resources i won't possibly ever use.
The box specs are as is:
I7 3770
16 gigs ram
OS drive SSD
Server/Other drive HDD 7200+ quality
The pros:
Free
Good Hardware
It can be a great backup or whatever you want to do with it
The cons:
It is central US located out of MO at the Oak Towers DC.
Weird issue with initial ping stabilization that generally happens on initial join. I've tested numerous things which i can rack up to either they have an old switch or router in house. It stablizes after about 5-10 seconds and stays down.
Finally this is my first run with a colocation with this company. Their dedicated servers were fine but lower hardware.
Also you want to see a speedtest? Since this should be a home line right?

I have a test MGE server up. Just use the url H3R0.us the port is default and it should show up right away if not :27015
Test out the MGE see if it may be what you can use. The fast download and all that is already enabled and set. If it tests out ok and you would like to try doing a match or whatnot on it. Toss me a message. Currently it has soap and mge with the basic MM/sourcemod. Configs are basic. I can setup ftp if you need to change anything out and have a bash script for killing / restarting the server. Also regardless of normal play i have it set to restart at 6am to update ect... It can be changed.
Lastly, who the hell am i?
I've been setting up servers since NS1, tweaking linux kernels for real time and other possibilities when i believed that having 1000fps for everything was a bright idea. Been through CS, CSS, and many other configs and setups. Other than that, i'm just a random guy who stopped having time to play as much so i took a hobby in setting up and configuring servers on my own time. Got some certs through CompTIA and working on Microsoft certs.
This may be ideal for newer teams O or IM who just need a server or backup.
Thanks

p.s. I would go for a sponsor type deal, but i don't have the extra cash to throw around. This was pre-paid for some time ago(as you can tell my priorities for my hobby are a bit out of wack, but i can throw up servers at any time for games i like). Sorry D:

A very generous offer. Doesn't Cinq need another server for his new pug?

Would be cool to let streamers use it for lobbies with their viewers sometimes? Maybe?

My im team would love a server. Thanks for helping the community out.

I am currently re-launching the booking system for #tf2scrim. Since I also have 4 TF2 servers that are unused during scrim time I was getting this system back online. Let me know if you are interested by this.

After i talk with cinq and see what i can do to help him, i would definitely be up for setting up a server for streamers. What i am going to do though is after i get cinq up, do a week test or some sort of baseline for a few days. Depending on what cinq may want, i will turn the public test into a streamers server. Then get my baseline.
I guess my only question would be for the streamers servers. Does the info get transferred around, would it be for a certain ring, just tf.tv in general, and who would i start off giving the info to?

Thanks for everyone who got in contact with me. I'm going to close out for now. Got a few good people who got in contact with me up and contributing the rest to Cinq's new system for the tf2 community as a whole.
Thanks
