I know you're kidding but I also know some servers got 96Gb ram, I wonder how noob the owner has to be to get something like that lolz. You will never use little more than 1/8 of that. For 2000 players I would say 24 is more than enough...

As long as they can afford it, you shouldn't say anything ^^.

Don't choose the webserver because most of the addons and things won't work properly or won't work at all.

SQL server: SQL 2008 R2 (Evaluation) - 6 months ! If you are still on the market after 6 months... you'll find a solution to renew the license .
Location: Germany, Russia, or The Netherlands .

Please could you explain why i7 and not Xeon or Opteron?

[zikor1337]

Depends on i7 . If you get a x990 it has 6 cores - 12 threads ! More than enough to run a vsro server. If you take a 920, it has 4 cores - 8 threads which is enough as well (same as Sandy Bridge i7 2600) .

Xeon or Opteron are not a must . i7 can also satisfy your needs .
