So I've finished building my first high end dedicated server, I know some might be like ??? once they see the build list, I just bough the CPU and have everything else on the pcpartpicker so I'll be building this server and putting it into the datacenter, One question I have for this server is does anyone know of a rack case that I can buy to fit this server build so I can pay less for having it in the datacenter.

Secondary Dedi
My other point of creating this topic is I need assistance in building a secondary server, It needs to be high end like my first server, reason why I ask for assistence is because I feel like I could of spent less money and got relatively close or same results as my first one in the sense of capabilities. One thing I will say for this secondary server, I'd like to use only use AMD CPU, I don't like Intel cpu, Don't hate on me intel lovers. I have been looking at the AMD EPYC cpu's and have been debating if I should go for the single or dual cpu build for the second server. I am going to be using this server for multi purpose of things (Game Servers/Web Hosting/Voice Servers/Etc) so I'm aiming at doing 128 GB of ram or more etc. If you guys have any suggestions for how I should build my second one, I'd love to hear!
