Server computer build

[Wergthy]

Hey guys could u give me some ideas on which hardware parts to get for my server computer. I need it to do web hosting and quick data transfer. Any ideas? thanks in advance

What sort of budget do you have? Servers tend to benefit from CPU's with many cores, large capacity higher speed RAM, and in some cases, RAID storage can be the way to go.

 

Beyond that I don't have the expertise to be recommending parts for a server.

our budget is around 2000$. Thank u for the info. I'll try and look for parts like that

Oh and another thing. Depending on the kind of server you're looking to run and the sort of information you're running on it, it may be beneficial to look into ECC memory. This is usually a bit more expensive than standard non-ECC memory, but in some situations where information security is critical its worth the investment.

Just buy an older dual socket 2011 board and get two xeon 2670's off ebay for $70 each. Huge amounts of processing.

Id get a used dell r720. There fast and have many features that you can't have in a diy server. (much more dense, good impi/drac, hostswap psu, info lcd on the front, 24dimms, support for things like esxi and nvidia grid, cheap parts)
