Hi Everyone,
I'm thinking to sell my current NAS and buy a new labcenter.
Currently I have a asrock c2550d4i, low power server with 12 sata ports, work perfectly but the cpu it's not enough powerfull for my new purposes(labcenter) for a simple NAS it's perfect!
What I need for the new server?
I need to video encoding, and plex transcoding at least 4 transcoding in paralel.
I will create at least 4-8 VM to do some tests releating with docker clustering.
I have the oportunity to buy Intel Xeon E5-2630V4 2.2 GHz BOX for 400$
My question is? could be a good idea to have dual cpu with this cpu? which mobo could work? I never built a computer with dual cpu, any interesting points to know?
the other posibility is to buy i7 6900K or i7 6950X but I would like to have labcenter with ECC ram because it will be powered on 24/7
Could you help me to choice correct hardware in case Go to the Dual Xeon? maybe it's better i7 for video transcoding?
All this hardware should work on unraid, I will connect more or less 8-10 HDD and I will have 4-8VM's
I was checking on ebay and I see a lot of powerfull Xeon cpu but very cheap price, why? maybe it's not what we could expect?
for example
http://www.ebay.es/itm/Intel-XEON-E5-2683-V3-ES-2-0Ghz-35MB-14C-28T-LGA2011-3-120W-22nm-QEY7-Processor-/222257269975?hash=item33bf90ccd7:g:bOsAAOSwPCVX4oPn
my budget is arround 2000$ ( I don't need to buy the case and the harddrives) so only mobo, cpu, ram, and dependends of the wattage the PSU
regards,
