    kawskaws got a reaction from Pasi123 in Rebuilding the workstation - Z620   
    I picked this up Second hand from a friend a while ago and havent gotten around to setting it up properly. It is going to be my home server, taking over some functions of other random crap in the house. I'll also be using it for gaming when I want to play something high end that the other machines wont run at a silly resolution. So it'll get a decent second hand card soon thanks to our good friends at Nvidia and the 3000s.
     
    Ive not seen a slot method for the secondary CPU and RAM, but it keeps the case small and the airflow zones quite neat. It gets noisy as hell on boot due to the small 40mm fans, but at running temps its no louder than a regular 4+ fan gaming system.
     
    It's going to get the AudigyFX Sound card, drives in and setup and wireless card Ive got somewhere.... Specs are:
     
    CPU - 2 x Xeon e5-2660 (16 cores, 32 threads)
    RAM - 64GB ECC Cosair DDR3 (was 32)
    SSD Boot - 256GB Samsung Evo
    SSD Storage - 480GB Corsair
    HDD - 2 x 5TB HDD Seagate
    GPU - nVidia Quadro K620
    NET - 2 x Gigabit Ethernet (one intel AMT)
     
    Then its a matter of firing it up and getting the VMs running for;
    Plex
    NFS Share - Image Backups, Media
    Ubuntu Proxy - FTP/NTP/DNS(with addfilter)/Web
     
    Will also have a look into trying the steam streaming thing from it, to see if I can just stream to my other PCs and laptop when I need the power. Anyone used it before?

    Excuse the potato photos, my phone isn't the greatest. Whacked this together today with a new case and PSU, with a bunch of spares and old stuff I had lying around.
     
     
     
    Mobo: ASK H67M
    CPU: I5-2500k
    Cooler: NFI? (Was in the spares, a china one maybe?) RGB  with heatpipes
    RAM: 16GB 1066mhz 
    PSU: Thermaltake Litepower 450watt
    Case: Thermaltake H17 Matx
    Fans: 3x Cheap Armageddon Blue LED 80mm
    Light: Ebay LED RGB Strip with USB/Remote Control
    GPU: GTX 580 3gb
     
    Altogether it came through at about AUD450, which is pretty good for an old rig that'll play esports. Time to list it up and ship it off and build the next one!
