I'm actually upgrading my server to dual 6 core processors, so I'll have 12 cores and 24 threads.

I still live at home, I'm a 17 year old high school junior. You can do plenty of stuff even if you're not allowed to "mess with the router" port forwarding which you may want to do for certain applications is super easy and shouldn't even be noticeable by you parents unless they're looking for it.

I can't even get into the router at my house its locked in my fathers office

I currently have two X5550's, but I'm upgrading to two L5640's which have more cores, and a lower TDP meaning they'll be lighter on the power bill as well as easier to cool. They have a slightly lower clock speed but that doesn't bother me.

My little HTPC/Media Server has a 2.05ghz 25 watt quad core AMD Athlon 5350 in it and runs at 30degrees celcius while in the bios and thats with the cheapest crappiest thermalpaste I can find and the stock cooler if I probably had better thermal paste it would probably be at room temparature

Nice! I've got a full 4U server chassis with another 4U chassis coming in this week

[squirrl]

Why is there no option for me?

I'm a turnip that has grown arms and legs and has somehow surpassed all forms of geek and has taken on a new tech sentient form somewhere in tech universe

Mine is just a ITX chassis because I don't have any room for a rack server my HTPC/Media Server has a AMD 5350 25 watt 2.05ghz quad core APU 4gb of ram, 1tb hdd and a 250watt TFX Solif Gear PSU I also use a WiFi card in it for the internet but it's so close to the router (which is in a room close by I have no trouble streaming 1080p video to my phone from it)

I've got the dual Xeon X5550's (four cores eight threads each), 3TB's of Mass storage with a 250GB boot drive, a 600W 80+ bronze PSU, and quad ethernet ports teamed for potentially 4GB/s throughput.

wow the most I get is about 150mb/s out of mine and its enough to stream 1080p from it and I only have a single 1tb hdd becuase I'm using a ITX case I can put in a second HDD in there if I put my 5.25 inch hotswap bay in it and can probably squish in a 2.5 inch ssd or hdd under the 3.5 inch hard drive with some double sided tape but I need my 5.25 inch bay drive in that computer so I can put dvds in it to watch movies because it doubles as my HTPC 

[GeekJump]

what kind of pokemon are you, how do you do the things you do...

 

That's what kind of geek I am!  Or is that nerd...all this wannabe hipsters these days confuse me so idk what to believe anymore! :'( 

[epic_minecraftboy_zzz_2004]

I would consider myself a geek that likes minecraft programming with command blocks and call of duty

I'm looking to upgrade to 4x 4TB HDD's in the near future. My chassis has space for 8 drives, plus 3 5.25" drives so I'm going to get an SSD for the OS + an adapter to mount it in one of those bays, then I'll throw in a hotswap tray + a optical drive for handbrake.

I know absolutely dick about software, where as hardware makes me feel funny in the underwear department!

Yah I'm definitely not going to need that much storage and that many drives for me (when I get around to building a proper one) a 3tb raid 1 server with 2 3tb hdds would be plenty

Yeah, I'm working on digitizing thousands of family photos at really high resolutions, as well as all of our ~500 movies and its taking up a LOT of space.
