One last thing before I head home from work...
Bit-tech had a CS:Source server in the past, funded by several forum members, but they've just invested (in partnership with Intel and Trusted Reviews) in what is being called "The World's Fastest Gaming Server". The CPU is un-announced at the moment, but appears to be a multi (>2) core processor - coupled with 8GB of Memory.
It's going live today at 6pm, but will most likely be full-to-the-brim as many are getting excited at the prospect of it all. I hope to have a go for a bit, as the highest scoring player will win a prize apparently. Not that I'm any good...
