Small Server Build

[EdwinTheGreat]

Hi,

I am new to the forums, but need some reconmendations for a smal server I'm planning to build early next year. 

 

My goal is to eliminate the need for a hoster and host a web server, Mail server, a simple PBX system (3cx), small storage accessed by 4-5 people (rarely at once) and also hopefully a teamspeak and Arma server (though these are not important in any way ). 

Mail and a PBX can be on the same virtual machine but the web server needs to be independant and so does the storage one. 

 

Here's the catch though, I have a budget of $500 AUD and need this to take a minimal amount of space.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Watch your power bill. Get a 25W intel xeon or i3/i5 if you can find them. If not the next is 45W AMD athlon/APU range. Anything after that is 65W and above. There are 6W celerons & laptops that will do everything except the Arma server.

I have a couple of year old Mini-ITX pc that i could beef up a little bit, running an i5 I think. That may do the trick then.
