Hey there folks. I am looking for a server (tower, not rack) for home that will run WS2012 R2 (IIS + FTP +MySql Server + plex + vpn + other goodies) + Hyper-V (freenas + pfsense + cs 1.6 server for me and my mates ;] + some testing vms for work). But the trick is that i need it to be low power and most the importent, it need to be low noise server. The plan was to grab HP MICROSERVER G8, put there Xeon E3-1265L v2 + 16 GB ECC RAM + 4x 4TB HDD's in Raid 10.
But, is there any other alternative to this HP server (low power / low noise) that is more future proof? Maybe i should look for some dell/lenovo/hp workstation/server and do couple modyfications to make it quieter. Or should i build server by my self from scratch ? Any tips ?
