Best Computer strictly for botting?

4-5 boxes with FULL RESOLUTION and FULL GRAPHICS

12 bots is maybe doable with terribad resolution and lowest graphics not to mention the lag of commands being sent to the server because of the ISP lag
 
I built a mid-tower recently for ~$1200

Level 10 Thermaltake GTS (midtower) - $110
amd 8 core cpu 8150 - $199 (or ~150-160 for the 8120 version) (newegg or amazon)
ROG Crosshair V - open box (Newegg) - $153 (new is $220)
32 ram (4x8) @ 1.6GHz - $160 (Amazon.com - Komputerbay RAM; or corsair etc for $210-220)
Asus 7970 6 video out 7970 - open box (newegg) - $380 that I bought for main comp and put in my 'old' 6950 into bot comp ($240-260)
PSU - 1050w Kentek - $65 (Amazon) -- there are various psu's, since it was a bot comp... i didn't care; I personally use a 1200w silverstone in my main computer
Corsair H100 cpu liquid cooling - $100 Amazon or $115 Newegg (or you can get the coolermaster V6 GT for $47)
DVD burner - $20
120GB SSD - $80-100

Artic Silver Thermal Paste - $5
I bought some extra 200mm and 120mm fans as well; 4-pack coolermaster 120mm fans for $15, 3x 200mm fans for $19 each

The AMD 8 core is the best bang for the buck atm. The 2011 Intel's do out-perform them, but they're $500 for the processor and $200-300 for a mobo, which is retarded
I know some fanboi is gonna be like 'oh, well the 1366 <insert some fanboi remark here> and are around the same price as the amd chips>'

@OP - If you don't know how to build a PC, l2build; it's like 20 screws, a little bit of pluggin in stuff that you can't wrongly plugin and that's it. There's plenty of thermal paste guides out there... watch the newegg one where paul puts on arctic silver onto an intel chip

IMO 2g memory gpu would be bottleneck, but I could be wrong.

I've heard multiple complaints of 8cores having their distributions too low to be efficient.

Demonbuddy runs @2-3% and D3 runs @0-2% @ 4.4GHz; I can boost it up to 4.8 on liquid cooling if it gets bad

amd 8 core d3 db.webp

Even at peak, they might be 4-5% together, which means that I can easily run 16-18+OS

I'm jealous you're still able to bot.

On my quad core DB runs at 2% per piece and Diablo at 3-4%, so it's not a really big hop. :)

yeah, the demonbuddy cpu% jumps around a lot, sometimes 0-1 and sometimes 2-3% depending on if its fighting or using a waypoint, etc

and who says i'm botting? lol. I don't really play d3, not my style; that was taken from when I was developing profiles and testing the first couple of quests before the random dungeon

Generally 0-3 for me anyways.

I just assumed @ the screenshot time :) glad you guys are still developing.

Ah, I re-saved it as a .jpg; as paint wants to save as .png's and use more storage (the devs complain about my 3-5mb pictures of 3-monitor desktop ss's lol)

If anyone has the time to post a ready to go, rocking system that could run 12-16 bots I'd appreciate it.

Earlier someone posted one from newegg - would that one handle around 12? Is that competitive?

I haven't bought a desktop machine in 6 years - sort of laptop junkie - I run 4 on my Malibal - could probably run another 4 without too much hassle but it's my main and I use it for other things.

Anyway, I'm not current enough to know what's beefy enough to handle it - any help on this would be fantastic.

copy / paste what i typed out into newegg and see what pops up, should be easy enough :o

I personally underclock my GPU by 1k revs and overclock my CPU to 3.74 to 4.2 while botting to keep up, I hit 95 percent usage with 12 bots.

You think I can add 1-2 if I tune them down to 25 fps? Hard to believe that I can only do 4 and you can do the triple amount :& I certainly get fpsdrops with 4 both fighting/leaving/joining at the same time.

Mineral Oil PC in a fishtank.

AMD FX-8150
ASUS M5A99X EVO
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB
Radeon HD 6850
Crucial M4 128 GB SSD

System is cooled by a MO-RA3 9x120 Pro radiator and a Swiftech MCP35X pump.

I can run 5x d3 clients. 5x wow clients. they are all in low settings. I havent tried running more. I can still run bf3 in high settings while all those clients are running. system doesnt heat up much due to the cooling. love the system. runs 24/7 and is super quiet.

Thought about doing this once, but I would have come up short on funds :(

Maybe I should do one now... then get an internship and see if they'll let me use it :P
 
Is it worth getting a Corsair H100 to cool your CPU or do I just stick to a Thermaltake Frio?

Doesn't Liquid Cooling = Risk of Coolant Leakage = Bye Bye $$$?

worth making one if you dont mind having it there forever/3years or so. mine is a 12gallon tank. i would suggest going smaller. isnt expensive to make. fish tank + lian li motherboard tray or cut out a motherboard tray off an old case. mount and fill up the tank. there is also that 600usd premade setup you can buy.

Your GPU shouldn't be your primary concern. You're talking about multi-tasking here, so CPU and RAM are priority #1. Ofcourse you need a decent GPU for Diablo 3, but if you want to run multiple instances of D3, then just lower the graphics (you shouldn't care about the graphics while botting).

I can definately recommend a Quad Core CPU in this one. I'm using a Intel i7 3820 (Socket 2011). It's a Quad Core CPU, but it allso has Hyper Threading. That means: Virtual CPU cores if needed.
Besides the CPU i would recommend 16 GB DDR3 Ram, with at least triple channel. RAM shouldn't be too expensive (around $100 i guess).
