Home server

[Taxoz]

Hello, I have been using a office PC as my home server a HP Compaq 6305 Elite SFF - AMD A8 5500 3,2GHz with 20 GB ram, using it for light virtualization, but I been thinking about getting something more powerfull.

But I have been looking at getting a Dell PowerEdge T620, but my concern is it may be loud my current server is in my living room and is very quietly. so my question is, does anyone know if you can have a Dell PowerEdge T620 in my living room without it being too loud?

Are the prices really good?  A modern-ish PC is dead silent basically and you can SFF it easily.

yes 24 sticks of 8 GB ram ( 12 dim slots for each CPU ) and no drives, the main reason is the ram since I want to run a few VMs

It is quieter that a rack mount machine but it isn't going to be quiet. 

That uses two slim power supply and tiny fans that need to spin fast.

Umm, 192GB of RAM for a few WMs?  Get 2x16 in my build or 4x8, isn't 32GB enough?

 

Kind of my extent of knowledge for VMs.  Hope someone can answer your original question.

Its more since I live in the EU with VAT, the parts you link and the server I found would cost about the same

and yes I would need alot more then 32GB of ram, The VMs would be running game servers, web servers, and I was thinking about a PI hole even tho that would not take too much ram

But Thanks for your input I appreciate it
