I want to host quite a large server (75-100 on at all times), I would prefer to host from home, and not pay for a hosting service. Please let me know what you think.
Although hypothetically speaking you can, but it can have dire consequences. Also 75-100 people may be a little too much for the pc, correct me if I'm wrong.
The biggest issue I found with doing it on a computer are (besides the odd overheating and port forwarding) the DDOS attacks. Many hosts come with ddos protection but for a PC, not so much. So you can get into a bit of trouble with your ISP if it happens.
The other thing that plays a major role in server hosting is your internet bandwidth, this does not depend on your PC as much. Lag can happen because of insufficient upload and download speed, 75 players can use up quite a bit.
Anyways the PC looks pretty nice, and way better than what I use. So hope you have fun if you choose to buy it.
