Hello all,
Okie so im looking at having a dedicated streaming/recording rig and possible rendering rig.
I have seen the video on the LTT channel about using server grade hardware because its alot cheaper but does propose some challenges.
What would you guys suggest for a streaming/recording rig with server stuff in mind,
I was thinking of having a motherboard like this

According to the users manual that i found from supermicro its a duel Xeon LGA 771 Quad Core/Dual Core 5400/5300/5200/5100 Series processors at a front side bus speed of 1333 MHz/1066 MHz To me this means nothing so any possible cpu i could use with this?
RAM is the other thing, i havent done any research on this currently because i dont really know what im on about so i would probably be wasting my time.
The rendering part to this rig isnt really a requirement because i can already edit/render pretty quickly on my gaming pc but would be nice if it could do the job quicker than i can currently.
My gaming pc is an amd 8320 overclocked to 4.3Ghz which is stuck to a gigabyte GA 990fxa with 16gb of ram. I use an xfx r9 290x 4gb card for my main gaming stuff and i do have a spare r9 270x card that i could hopefully use in the streaming/editing rig.
Finally, yeah there might be a cheaper way of doing a streaming/recording rig but i kinda like the unique feel it would have if i did decide to go ahead with it.
Many thanks guys
Tom
