Workstation build

Speedbird · October 18, 2014

Hi

I want to build a workstation for VMs, my main rig isn't made for that. It needs to be remotely accessible, so Intel vPro (especially AMT) would be nice. It will also be doing a little gaming, so I got a 260X for it. So anyway, here it is. Budget is 1000 euros, must be ITX form factor.
