Hardware/connection requirements to host a pool?

[Dropkickdragout]

Hi all, maybe if you've been to the selling forum you will notice I am trying to sell a web server, but i have had a thought.  Maybe I should keep it and host a pool from it.  But then the question arises, what kind of hardware/internet connection would be required for this?   sorry if this has been asked before.

You won't be able to host a very large pool from a single box.  You need a dedicated db backend + your web server and honestly you probably should have at least 1 worker server.

The most important thing is a fast DB server, though.
