Hello,

 

I own a Dell PowerEdge T610 Server (24GB DDR3 ECC Reg RAM; 2x Intel Xeon E5645 6Core@2.4GHz; PERC H700 storage controller), and i was wondering what can i do with it; at the moment it runs Active Directory handling a few PC's for my business, a file server, torrent server, plex server and a virtual machine running as a NVR for my CCTV, and 2 web servers (1 for my UPS and Genset monitoring and 1 is not used) i do have quite a bit of available resources left, so any ideas what i could use that for? :) thanks in advance and sorry if i am not in the right topic.

Quake Server

Torrent Server

Media Vault

Throw a proper gaming card in it and run some VMs with IOMMU support

I do run a torrent server, forgot to mention it, i use qbittorrent for it's web interface, unfortunally it doesn't have any slot for a GPU although it's a tower server, shares the same motherboard with Dell PE R610 (the 1U rackable server)
As for quake, not a fan, i tried setting up a minecraft server, but MC it's not multithread, and my single core performance isn't great

That's got a PCIe slot, you can shove a full-fledged gaming card in there. I did with my PE 2900....

You can make Minecraft multithreaded. Just make sure you set the launch options properly. That's where the real performance tuning happens.
