I just paused at the right moment and thought of that :')

Thank you very much!
That's going to be alot better than CPUBoss^^
My CPUmark score was a tad higher than the i5 but that could have been because of other things^^
In total i have 8 cores and 16 threads so i'm more than happy about it^^

The page has been updated guys!

My first custom gaming case is a server unit.
Why.....?
Because Linus's personal server rig inspired me.

Update 2:
Due to lack of finances i had it sit on my desk until i can afford a new motherboard and processor.
I took a note from Linus's 150 bucks server gaming rig video, and i started looking around in Marktplaats.
And i found this:
Marktplaats Supermicro Xeon E5620  Dual
And there are two of these in it:
ARK Intel
So i checked these Xeons compared to the i5 6600K a friend of mine just got and:
CPUBOSS E5620 - 6600K

I want to use this PC as a Server, i want to use Unraid to get multiple VM's working.
One for gaming, one as NAS, one as Voice Recognition using Dragon Naturally Speaking.
(i'm getting two individual mics to have in my new room that will be passed through to that VM.)
And one for School and home management.

I'm moving to a 14m2 room in two months so having a server instead of different devices for everything is a blessing.
Lets hope i can get this board ey.


How it stands now untill i can upgrade:




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it all started with me looking around 'Marktplaats', which is basically the Ebay of the Netherlands.

It is.

And i came across this 4U Server case, for 5 Euros.
YES, 5 damn, euros.

(It's wet because it was raining.)
So i went over there.
(which took me about 6 hours by train)

I payed with a smile on my face and took it home.
Having two friends over whom actually helped me alot.

I took a look at my current PC and was like, why would i not put my rig in this?...

Oh yeah...
it's grey on the inside.

Well we went to our dollar store and got some spray cans, marking tape and an airspray can.
From here on out i'll post only pics^^

If you guys have any suggestions please do give them this is my first time colouring a case!



Now here you can see we started out sanding every single piece of the case:


I decided i wanted to make a matte black case with red accents as you can see here:



UPDATE 1: oh sh*t.
 
It all went really well, the parts look amazing, i found my old stock cooler..
Untill i used the wrong backplane and i think i bent my motherboard because it won't post.
 
 

I really want to make an extensive update but its nearly 3AM here, my back hurts and i'm stumped..
I'll update you guys tomorrow after work around 7 my time
 
Update 2: Well..
 

So i took the PC out, slapped my AIO water cooler on again, tried all my ram and different graphics cards.
My Phenom 2 X4 965 is compatible with a pc i made for a friend so i'll test if my CPU still works..
If it does i'll buy a new motherboard, if it doesn't i'll have to save up for a new Intel CPU (because of Planetside2)
But that will have to wait a few months..



Update 4?
I lost count.


So i got the board:
Dual Socket-Intel Xeon E5620 clocked at 2.4GHZ
AMD R9 270 2GB Stock speed.
24GB of DDR3 Kingston memory (6x4GB)
800WATT PSU
120GB SSD & 5TB of HDD Storage


Pictures:




(I know the fan on the front grill is not centered but as they say: "I'll fix that sometime" xD)

I still have a few quirks with the board but i'll update you guys on that after i've handled them on their respective subsections of the LTT forums :3

Well we're a week ahead and i've got it pretty much done, return to the first page soon, i'll have pics up in there again :3

Oh thank god thank you!
My pc has been out of commission 3 months, and i found that board with those two cpu's and 24GB of Kingston ram for 300 bucks, i'm going to test it tomorrow to seal the deal ^^

Not as nice as your picture though, wanna get some chimichangas later?

Yeah, very nice deal you've got there

Oh thank god thank you!

I don't think dual socket board can run with just one CPU? But for most uses, 1 8pin should be plenty to power both CPUs. The guy from EEVblog had no issues with just 1

How is this build going so far? :3
 

Okay i may consider getting it.
What i already love is that they don't push a "BUY NOW" button in your face and instead have it allll the way to the bottom.

hows this amazing project going?

Welp i'm 21 so i don't have other rooms yet, but i never really minded the sound for some reason^^
 
If i broke the motherboard i'll have to buy a new one..
But the CPU is a Phenom II x4 965 so i'm thinking, wouldn't it be better to just wait untill i can upgrade?
 

Are you also goint to put it in an other room to reduce sound or is it just for looks?

Cant wait !!

cool project, like it 

This is amazing 

6 hours by train..... like it already  Followed

Well since i'm a student and our country is rather small, Public Transport is free for me except for the vacations.

These were the cheapest "New" cases i could find so for me, yeah 5 bucks is really cheap^^
