Dedicated Server | Planning/Building

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.

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!

Record you smashing it with a hammer and send it to Linux, with proof of the specs beforeward.

 

 

Jokes aside, please send us a Speccy screenshot so I can use it to ask people if this is ok for a web browsing and Word build nowadays.

Don't see what your assuming that first part, I honestly could give less of a fuck about that, I would say I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to building servers, I know the first server isn't technically a server and just a glorified computer in a sense, But it's going to be used as a server overall, This is one of the main reasons as to why I've inquired in getting assistance in building a server that is done right and is high end.

Simmer down there, @Master Disaster was just poking fun at you.

 

Any computer performing 'serving' tasks can be classified as a server, it's not really hardware dependant. You may get some benefits from using server hardware, like some features that aren't available on consumer grade hardware.

 

Maybe consider looking into branded servers (machines preconfigured and prebuilt by manufacturers), although you probably won't get more 'bang for your buck' since server grade hardware is usually quite a bit more expencive than customer grade stuff....

Hard to understand the culture around here and or people's sense of humor over text, But I appreciate you telling me.

What features would you say you get out of server hardware out of consumer grade ones? Curious to see if it's truly worth building a second dedi with server based hardware

I'm not really an expert either when it comes to server hardware, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

 

You get ECC support, some remote managing capabilities (which is really important if your server is sitting in a datacenter god knows where), redundancy and fail safe options and so on...

 

Check out the Techquickie video (it's kinda old, but still relevant imho):
