What hardware are you botting on?

Doing some research and figuring out my options to run hundreds of accounts.
What do you guys use? Is ti worth it building my own machine?

The top gamers desktop you can afford, or a Sager laptop. It will last you for years and both will be user upgradable for a few years.

Well, a top notch graphic card - which really makes gaming desktops gaming desktops - is not really needed for botting tasks or for most IM tasks either unless you're into graphic design. What he really need is a powerful CPU, lots of RAM and a kick ass SSD either in his own config or in a VPS.

On the other hand, it depends on the bot too, some coders can't optimize for shit and their bots are a resource nightmare. I can't really speak of nowadays instagram bots, because i don't use any (i had FL, i don't anymore), but different bots can have quite different resource usage.
The other thing that some people may not realize, that these multithreaded bots can require quite the bandwidth. For instance when i run my Twitter bot 24/7 using 100 threads, the data usage of the bot is about 1 TB per month just with scraping users, following them, unfollowing later and a few tweets per day. So you also need a fast and stable internet connection for botting. Running hundreds of accounts using hundreds of threads will even affect the web browsing experience more than likely, so you'll need to use a connection optimization tool like cFosSpeed.

i bought a small silent mini windows desktop which runs now 24-7 and its real ok. they don't const much and do the job
