Hi all i am looking at building a home server to run a ts3 server from mainly with the advantages of upgrading it in the future if needed

If anyone could help me out with that is best to put in it

Have you considered the HP Microservers? With rebate it works out about £100 and for that you get a 2GB RAM system (can take up-to 8GB or 16GB I forget which) that can hold 5 hard drives (4 of which are hotswappable).

It's affordable, semi-upgradable, quiet and small. Most importantly it's x86 and will run any normal Windows or Linux software.

Here is a link, make sure you read the information about the rebate carefully. http://www.ebuyer.com/430446-proliant-microserver-turion-2-2-2gb-250gb-nhpl-sata-lff-in-704941-421

Whilst I've not had one personally I've heard nothing but good things from the microservers.

I have one and they are good as a file server but if you ask it to do much more it struggles.
