Would this work for a 8(maybe more) person modded server.

Maybe more? How many more?

Modded? What mods?

No idea for the mods as of yet . Ideally my crew is gonna vote on the mods as we go on

But for players the more the merrier for around 200 dollars

It would be cool to allow friends to invite other friends to get a community going

Well both are a big factor and neither is certain. In which case no, nobody here can tell you a definitive answer

Your only option is to

you can probably find a better server box for that price

yeah, Monthly vs Perma
Not a good suggestion tbf

i meant like physical box

Yeah thats what hes getting..?

like a physical server you buy from ebay

like a 1u server?

maybe, can also be like a pc build

$200 is a tight budget

youd not get a lot

you can probably do a decent am4 build for 200

if you can find one id be amazed ngl

Not a condescending tone, but actual interest as no way in hell id find one near my place

just a suggestion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

that laptop aint the worst thing to spend 200 on tho. can see why the op went for that

i mean some small pc boxs can have that cpu
