Alright i am wondering how many games can i host on here. I want 2 l4d's,2 TF2's,2 CSS's, and probably some other games. Would it be possible to host it with this setup.
Plus a Team Speak setup.
Dual XEON Quad Cores: 8x1.8GHz CPU
Ram: 12GB Ram
Bandwidth: 10MBs Unmetered
I am not sure if this is possible seems very demanding to me but if this works that would be awesome.

Bandwidth and the small cores are a problem.
Maybe a 16-slot TF2 server per core. Possibly 18.
I'm not sure about the CSS.
L4D... maybe 2 servers a core?

Well would 5000 GB Bandwidth /Month be better? and i would like the servers to be at least 24 i would like the tf2 ones to be 32.

For large TF2 servers you need 2.4GHz or MORE.

No way you'll get a 24-slot TF2 server.
However I could be wrong.

Alright then what would you recommend for a server.
I am thinking of running the games on 3 separate servers, so it would be 2 tf2's on one, 2 CS:S's on another, then 2 l4d's on another. But once again i am doubting the 10MB speeds.
And i was thinking for hardware getting 3.0GHz Xeon Quad Core and 4GB of ram. And would 5000GB of bandwidth with a 100MB port better than 10MB unmetered bandwidth.

10mb unmetered is better. Also, you should be fine with the first box, just run all the servers off that one?

So i can run 6 servers on that one server. IDK it seems very hard and i don't want to waste my money on this.
Plus if i build that dual xeon 3GHz build how much would it cost to be collocated because i was thinking about that option because it could possibly be cheaper but i am not sure.

well the box you mentioned earlier, the dual quad, it will run 6 servers no problem. . . and it would depend where you colocated the server at. . .

Ehh it is still iffy. Now if the bw was burstable 100mb port, now were talking. . . Oh and going back to the server, the dual quad 3ghz cpu's obviously. . . lol
