I have a DELL Precision 7520 laptop that I do not use. Will this be suitable for running a DCS 24/7 server?
Specifications:
- Intel Xeon E3-1545M v5 (Quad Xeon 2.90GHz, 3.80GHz Turbo, Cache 8MB, TDP 45W, w / Iris Pro Graphics, 4 core -16 threads, )
- 16GB, 2x8GB, DDR4 2400MHz Non-ECC SDRAM
- M.2 512GB PCIe Class 40 SSD
- NVIDIA Quadro M2200 w/4GB GDDR5
- Windows 10 Pro
- Connected to a DELL E-Port Pluss docking station
Internet connection:
- Download 148,7 Mb/s average speed
- Upload 150,3 Mb/s average speed
- Average latency 6,98 ms
- Location Oslo, Norway
I calculate that it will use about 110 W per hour. 110 x 24 hours x 31 days = 81840 W or 82 kWh per month. It is approx. $ 8 each month.
And because there is a lot of web streaming in the house, many users, one option might be to upgrade the line to 300Mbps/300Mbps. The upgrade price is about $ 17 more a month.
Total cost for the server will be $ 25. Much cheaper than a dedicated hosting server.
How many players and how heavy missions can I expect this setup will work for?
