[Cataclysmic]

Well it pritty much says it all, i'm in need of a good hosting machine, ranging between 0-70 people. Looking to spend about £700 . The upload connection is 488 aswell if it helps xS

£700 could host thousands

tbh if ur looking for amir server pc , max u could spend out really is £200, infact, less, infact, £50!!!

To host what exactly?

And as MentaL says, for mir you need fa. It's really all about connection over spec.

Could run mir on an abacus

Just make sure that you have plenty of RAM - processing power isn't a major issue.
Connection hugely important too, you may be better off spending that money on a data-centre hosted machine.

1gig ram, 1.5ghz pentium4 or amd processor will do fine for hosting. But you need a 512 upload at least on your connection for 70 people i would say.

nar wud need a min upload of 1 meg (min for 70 ppl) how u work this out, well i remeber reading somethin (i think leo posted about it)

that wen a char on mir is hunting it uses up somethin around 4-6 k/b so thats just for 1 person. now if a person stands still there only using 3. work it out urself an as they said about it get it to match the 6k/b to be more accurate.

Yeah just get a Window's 2003 Dedicated Server, With Remote Desktop Access so you can open the Mir applications/update it yourself.

Spec's i'll say:
512MB RAM
Processor 2Ghz+ Not really important but still.
Good Connection Speed's.
Good Uptime.

This site is pretty good: http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=30

Request for one and you'll get lot's of host'ers offering you some.

Price's range from £50-£200+ monthly depending on spec's
