compensator Almost a Compensator with NAS

[FelixC]

So I am looking to build a system from scratch, including the Computer case. It needs to have a NAS while being a compensator.

 

1. Budget & Location

no more than $75000 USD. Currently living in Canada but also have a place in the USA. To be more exact Alberta and Montana.

2. Aim

The system is an all in one usage. Online gaming is a must and another must is 2D/3D work using Adobe Master Collection 6. For online gaming I am currently playing Blizzard games but looking to branch out to other games like Crysis. There also has to be a NAS system built into the same system. In short is like the Gamer with NAS system but be a compensator! As for OS it will have am main OS as windows 10 and others will be using VM.

 

3. Monitors

3 monitor system in max display setting that is either 4K or 8k. Also want to hook up a Projector for gaming and other uses.

 

4. Peripherals

Mouse: looking for wireless!

Keyboard: Looking for RBG gaming.

Speaker: 7.1 home theater system.

Headphone: Not really sure on this one but suggestions will be looked at.

Printer: Business all in one color laser. Looking at either Brother or Cannon but would like suggestions.

Other: All suggestions will be accepted.

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

I am looking to upgrade because I want to try to build a system from scratch like I use to way back when windows 95 first came out and life moved on when I stopped system building after windows vista came out. Haven't really looked at going back to system building since then till about a few weeks ago when I first seen my first LinusTechTips video labeled "The Compensator" Build Log - Our most insane build ever!.

 

6. Parts List.

Currently I am looking at the following parts:

Motherboard: not sure at this time but would like a black with red or orange color. No other colors unless I can paint it!

CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4

Hard Drive: Enterprise SSD only!

CD-Rom Drive: Blue-Ray write able drive.

Video Cards: 2 NVidea GTX 1080 in SLI and 1 to 4 NVidia Quadro 4000 or 5000 or 6000 (depending on which ones I can get my hands on).

Others not listed: Feel free to make suggestions.

 

7. Date

I am looking to have this completed on or before March 18 2018.

This will perform worse than you think.

 

Get eitehr a i7 extreme edition, or a W series xeon.

 

For gpu, no reason to get 1080's. 

 

All those quadros won't help at all.

Why $75k budget?

If you're not going to do scientific stuff or Hifreq trading, you can buy yourself an ES CPU for cheap. Same for enterprise SSD (or app accelerators) - get bunch of enterprise SSD for cheap, put in RAID0 if not fast for you.

 

I'm building a workstation for myself, want to run Win/Linux/Mac os X on it. I already got motherboards, some storage, videocards, case and dual PSUs. RAM on it's way, and buying CPU this week. Will work as NAS, as well as some other roles.

Looks like you've got a lot to compensate for.

[FelixC]

I don't want another box because it would be a huge headache moving from country to country when you have to have 2 boxes! As for you think this is a joke... that in itself is the joke! This system i for work from home while being able to play hard core gaming.

 

I am planing this out now and hoping to get it done by March of 2017 but if needed then can extend it to March 2018!

 

The 1080 is for the gaming. And using VM for the Quadro is for Work! In short It will have at least 2 OS with each OS having it's video card setup. This is gonna be like the gamer system with nas in one box.

This budget was set by the company I work for (That being me, myself and I)! Yes I will be buying about 24 to 48 Enterprise SSD! That is why its a huge budget!

How much storage do you need? 

[Elerek]

I'd recommend doing several builds in one case if you must. You'll get more performance and easier system setup and a failure won't break everything...

[NTDaws]

Ok look at Puget Systems.

well 2 for myself and 2 or others if able without having issues (lag and what not).

 

And Yes I don't want water cooling due to the fact that it needs to go from Canada to the US and back as I live in both depending on the month.

I already looked at that but that would be not what I want since that means they will be building it for me instead of me doing all the work!

This seems like more of a kick to your ego than a logical plan to get a recommendations for computer parts. You're just showing off at this point, and I'm afraid this being a joke is a more palatable alternative.

Lots as it will be in RAID 10

Because the hole point is for me to do all the work and not someone else!

Am I missing something

[JamieOlive]

Alright, i don't know why so many money, and not gonna answear all your stuff, but here are some thoughts.

1)Case: Phanteks Enthoo Elite, http://phanteks.com/forum/showthread.php?434-ETA-on-New-Phanteks-Enthoo-Elite, 900,00$.

2)MB:Asus Z10PED16 WS, https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z10PED16_WS/ , 500,00$.

3)CPU's: Intel Xeon E5 2697 V,4, https://ark.intel.com/products/91768/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-2697A-v4-40M-Cache-2_60-GHz, two of them at 6000,00$.

4)GPUs:Quadro P6000,http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-graphics-with-pascal.html , 3 of them 15000,00$.

5)RAM: GET 256 Gbs of either kINGSTON OR SAMSUNG THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE mb, let say 2000,00$.

6)DUAL 1200 watt PSU, LETS SAY ANOTHER 700,00$.

7)2 LG curved displays and 3 4k displays from whatever brands you like.

8)8 NVME 2 TB SSDs but i don't know if Raid cards apply to those ask the manufacturer, maybe you need propiertary hardware or expansion cards to do it, iin which case your budjet may be futile, lets estimate around 20000,00 for just 8 of them, not dozens even 24 750 series 1,2 tb nvme ssd cost around 30,000,00$ alone.

 

but either way i think you are trolling us so i want persue this any further, but i hope i helped forjust what i wrote,.,,,

[Matias_Chambers]

For monitors you might wanna consider waiting for Dell's new 8K displays. They cost 5K a piece.

Still. Is the Enterprise or "me myself and I" company?

If that's former - welcome to datacenter and everything is 1+1.

If that's the latter:

1Tb SSD is $150.

24SSD are $3600, 48 - 7200.
Barebones are 1000-1500.

CPU/Memory - depends - 1000-3000.

 

So, building it for myself I will be able to get it under 10-12k if needed. Say 20k, if you're going to include everything.

Now, the question is: do you really need 48T of SSD storage?

It's not a kick in my ego! I came hear to get advice on parts that people would recommend. Sure I can not have joined this forum and have surfed the net for most if not all the parts and then get them all but hey If you want to not offer suggestions then don't offer it! I a came hear looking for what I thought would help me refine the parts I am looking at but whatever man!
