    Mophead got a reaction from Electronics Wizardy in Buying a server, need some advice   
    So I just transitioned from a HP Box that had 2x Intel Xeon L5520 CPUs, these are 4C/8T CPUs. 
     
    I moved over to a Ryzen 3200G, so one of the cheaper/lower end Ryzen APUs, it's more energy efficient and way more powerful. 
     
    I would suggest that you look at building a system yourself, as you'll find a lot of the older servers online will consume a decent amount of power. 
     
    That being said, it's not a bad place to start... ! (avoid boxes with 4x CPUs, power hungry mofos!)

    That's exactly why I don't recommend it. Yes, it's a cheap GTX 770. But only because it's a reference GTX 770. You can max it out, but the fan would be noisy and the temps not ideal. The case airflow doesn't matter much since the reference cooler uses an enclosed blower design. It's only bad when there's something extremely wrong with the airflow design where hot air is stagnant and used to cool the card, but this is rare. The point is, there isn't much headroom compared to a non-reference cooler, in addition to non-reference cards having higher clocks out of the box.

    In this case, might as well get a non-reference R9 280X which is cheaper, faster, more quiet and cooler than the reference GTX 770 -- and you have overclocking headroom to boot.

    This £204.34 card will give that reference GTX 770 a drubbing: : http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-msi-radeon-r9-280x-gaming-3g-twin-frozr-oc-28nm-6000mhz-gddr5-gpu-1000mhz-boost-1050mhz-2048-str
