Not Wills

for z420 for 200 pound i can get1 with a e5 1620, the cheapest mb from 1 of thosers are 150 pounds

I found 1 with 2 x5550 36gb ram and duel psus. for 100 quid

I mean all ideas are open.

I've got a oced r5 3600 and scythe and corsair fans. The point I have is getting a crappy server and throwing it in another room seams a lot more attractive as i get to use the whole pc and off load the crap to a box I don't care about, it's not like a crap server can't handle it, and its not like I cant put up with the background tasks. It's more of a set and forgot kind of thing do at last I can tune my overclocks not care about restarting, being fine with gpu crashes. It's theses little things.

Its not that my pc won't handle it it's that it begining to get annoying, game performance is not the best, ram usage is high, and I suspect sleeping in a room with thoses fans on isn't improving my sleep

I don't mind, if it was loud I would slap some air-coolers on it and some heatsinks on the vrms

Il throw in something like a gtx 770 or something for cuda, and 32gb of ram,

Rendering 1080p resolve, an archive backup, webserver for Minecraft and coding projects, loading up vms for testing code and collecting data and limits of my code.

Alright, I should probably mention the reason I'm going for a server, my computer is on 24/7 with weekly restarts and munches on ram, and performance tanks when trying to playing demanding games and streaming, with all the extra crap open.

Alright il take a look

The idea was being get a cheap 8+ core server and hotrod it, the reason Im not going to rent 1 it that 1 it's not fun 2 having it local can help with the many things I am doing

I wouldn't say so

games and 3d application might not use 100% of the gpu expecally with modern gpus

I am looking for a server to run all the time with basically no down time, I am looking to do rendering on it, running vms on it, running webserves, storage backups, potato simulation, I am looking to spend hopefully less than 200 pounds.

alright, i think it might be something that is useless.
