2U uATX server?

[Firewrath9]

I'm starting to do some machine learning, and kinda want to build a cheap server. Suppose I have a budget of ~500$, I already have CPU+Mobo (prob use my i5-8400 + B360M DS3H from my current build when I get something like Ryzen 3700X), and mabye ram, what are some microatx 2U (lockable) chassis w/ 4 half height PCIe + GPU + PSU + SSD do you reccomend?

I found this

https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Chassis-Rackmount-Computer-RSV-2600/dp/B00EW0K8LU (chassis)

for cpu cooler, either

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CZZZ4DQ + 60mm noctua fan + homemade duct tape shroud (should be decent)

or 

https://www.newegg.com/silverstone-argon-series-sst-ar09-115xs/p/N82E16835220123 (earrape but should work)

then for GPU, I'm gonna wait for 1650/1650 Ti low profile,

PSU, something short, perhaps even SFX.

 

 

also can you use unRaid for tensorflow etc and multi-user server?

Id really suggest getting something like a dell r720 here, much more pcie card, faster cpus, much more ram support, and about the same price.

 

Id stay away from low profile gpus here, just get a case that supports full size gpus.

Id stay away from unraid here, and use something like a proxmox as a hypervisor and do passthrough, or just run ubuntu or debian or centos on the box.

 

What do you mean by multiuser? Basically every modern os is multiuser.

w10 only allows 1 user at a time, ill just use ubuntu, and how much is a dell R720? i have a limited budget

and how about a 4u rackmount for full size gpu

win10 allows more than one user at a time, it depends on how your using the computer and the edition of windows.

 

4u rack mount is a lot nicer if you want gpus and atx boards.

 

Look for r720's on ebay to get the price, starts at around 300-400 and goes up with sepcs
