Posted July 3, 2020 Budget (including currency): about 1.000€ with a bit of wiggle-room Country: Germany Workloads that it will be used for: staring as a file server, outdoor camera surveillance, and as a general workhorse for mundane stuff Other details: building a home server to store my media and important back up files, eventually adding security recording. Its gonna live in the attic. CPU: Maybe Ryzen ? MOBO: I dont know/ Open for suggestions GPU: Might buy a new onne for my desktop and use a GTX760 RAM: 8-16Gb of RAM Storage: Propably NAS / WD Purple maybe an SSD cache idk yet PSU: depends on the above As far as OS is gonna go: Propably Linux and KVM VM to run Windows in a vm as a hsot for Blue Iris. Is BlueIris really the way to go ? any alternatives maybe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 3, 2020 dont know toooo much ab home servers but heres what i can say cpu -1000 budget - ryzen is the way to go. for it being a server probably a ryzen 7, or a ryzen 5 3600 might just do u fine Mobo - a b450 will do u fine, probs b450 gaming plus max - its like the popular tomahawk, but with no usb-c and also cheaper. gpu - the gtx760 is a pretty crap gpu, and in servers u don't need an amazing one. so yes, use that and upgrade your desktop ram- 8bg wayy to little. 16gb is good, high end would be 32gb - 2x8 for - corsair lpx is great value. 3200mhz is probs the sweet spot Storage- make sure the hard drives are at least 7200rpm psu- yeah i would recommend (everyone else pls dont hate on me) a corsair cv series. They wont blow up your house and are pretty cheap. however, if you can, maybe a cxm series- higher quality psu. You wont need more than 550w, 650w will future proof it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
