Not much for that usage, probably like 16gb would be my pick for that setup.

ok ram seems to be expensive so i don't want to over pay

i cannot find anything in the area that is not ridiculous i found one r720 for $899 and up and that way out of the budget

How about other dual 2011 systems?

 

Or how about 1366 systems on ebay?

What used desktops are available locally? Id probably look for those then if there aren't many used servers available. Look up systems like the dell r710, dl 380 g6, r510, dl 180g6 and the lenovo versions.

in my area there are allot of the scam $1 creagslist pc and ancient core 2 dous but nothing remotely new unless the $1 10900k rtx 3090 system is real

[the gamer that is bad]

I've checked fb marketplace, creagslist, and let but nothing in my price range is not fishy or are powerful enough core 2 duo and ancient i3 only

Yes, the very same, but it being loud wasn't an issue. Actually pretty much the opposite:

 

For him it's not an issue. For many home lab users it is.

honestly reading through this thread it get the impression that you dont really need a server in terms of real server hardware but that all you want is a system to tinker around on and to run as a server, which you can do with basically any hardware.

 

Before you spend money on things you dont need think about what this server should do and then see if there are not better options for you then buying old server hardware.

Servers are loud and power hungry, unless you have any physical limitations that force you to use a rack mounted server you can simply use any case or depending on what you want to do even a raspberry pi can be a server.

it is a tanker system but i also need a server because by other one went up with the shed. I want it to be a nas for 7 remote users and me locally  i also will have it be a plex server and a Mc server for 10 people noise is no obstacle and either is power as long as it is under 1000 watts, and rack mounting is no obstacle but price is

could this be mounted sideways odd question

Could be mounted any direction that you wish, just make sure its secure. Having a server fall is a great way to ruin your day.

how fast is your internet connection, especially the upload is going to be very important with so many users using this server from outside your network.

[the gamer that is bad]

i am getting a gigabit connection from my school next year because apparently engineering students need one but hay free gigabit ethernet.

Depends on the chip you select, 2 and 4 cores are the only options for that board I believe

1 on the listing it says 8 cores 

2 I've checked but it says o listings under ddr3 etc non registered

and we can host anything we like because our teacher wants me to "learn how to be an engineer" aka do whatever you want they already gave us the money

Those pictures are registered ram, looks like description is wrong. Model number is also for registered. You can see the little register chip on the ram.

You've been looking for at least 3 months now. At some point you are just going to have to man up and buy one.

[the gamer that is bad]
