Looks pretty good to me. You'll be spending some money.

That's not a bad price at all, it's an investment and throwing out a little cash here will gain you later on. I assume you have some PCs for servers already?

Ya I think. I have 4 pc's available.

1 laptop for wifi and maybe a pub serv
1 desktop for a pub serv
1 desktop for a tourney serv
1 desktop for a tourney serv

I could probably run two servs off my box and just dedicate a serv to a specific core on the processor, but we will see how it goes. I have my kids comp too if I want to put up a file seerver, not sure if I want to do that yet.
