  1. I was already planning on spending $750, so do you think I could get something better for that price?
  2. I'm going to need minimum 32-64GB ram Appreciate the help looking though!
  3. Sorry, misread your question. I would prefer that as I could put it in the same place as my network setup.
  4. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QR7H4HS - seller offered to add rails, bezel, and 4 more trays @750.
  5. I can talk to this seller and ask for less ram on the server. Would it be worth going somewhere else for it? This one's on Amazon, so I know I have their "Amazon Renewed Guarantee" or whatever. Haven't had the best luck with eBay in the past. Yeah, I would probably not use this one just for that, but it's one of the things I would. I want to get something rack-mountable, and from what I've seen it would cost more to build something with desktop hardware. I could be totally off, so feel free to correct me if that's the case. I also considered getting something cheaper for now ($200-400) and then doing a second one later w/ better specs.
  6. Yeah I found some other options, but because one of the thing I'm planning to do is host game servers, the single core is a pretty big factor. The cheaper servers I've seen that have similar clock speeds have 1/3 - 1/4 as many cores.
  7. It's about what I've seen so far. Oh I forgot to mention it also has rails and bezel. No drives included
  8. Yeah, I'm in the US. Not really sure what a good price is. Which is why I'm here Good to know. I'm not sure yet about the amount of storage I'll be using. I was thinking about adding SSDs over time.
  9. Hey! I'm buying myself a refurb server for my bday, and wanted to get some third party opinions before I spend a bunch of money on the wrong things. Main use cases (I have a bunch of other stuff I want to try): - NAS - Plex Server - Probably hosting a few MC servers - Hosting a few DBs for personal use - Testing out all the free stuff I get while I'm in school (Windows Server 2019, SCSM, etc) - A bunch of other random stuff at different times. Server I found: - Dell PowerEdge R720 - 2x E5-2690 - 192GB PC3-10600R - H710 RAID controller - 8x 2.5" drive trays - 2x 750W PSU - $750 USD Do you think the server makes sense for the price/use case? I'm fine getting something overkill as I have plenty of ideas for future use, but if I can get more performance for the price or am missing something important, let me know. Thanks!
  10. Edit: I was able to get a replacement cross-shipped.
