workstation

I'm looking into building a decent home workstation that double-functions as home server, running 24/7, accessible and managable through vpn. I'm planning to run virtual machines on it, although undecided yet what type, likely a proxmox hypervisor (type 1). Since I'm regularly abroad and since...

Is there a recommended SAS2 (or SAS3) backplane for DIY workstation builds? 4 drives preferred. 8 would be awesome (if that's possible) 3.5" drives preferred. If not, then 2.5 would be interesting Installed within regular ATX or large ATX case ATX or CEB motherboard cases, like the Asus X99-E...

I've been planning for a new computer build for a couple months now. With the new 3990x and EPYC server processors launching, I've been wanting to move away from my current X299 build as my chip has been really tough to cool and my needs have shifted. With this, I've kind of planned out two...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on building a powerful workstation for some specific use cases that my team has. I came here after watching this video and checking this detailed post about the same. I really liked the details provided and how this setup can absolutely annihilate similar ones...

First post here, if you know me from other places, hello again. Anyway I've come because I'm thinking about using some server parts in my workstation build and hopefully I could get some feedback on this potential idea. The plan is to use this a portable graphic design workstation. I'm not so...

I'm new to server hardware, and I wanted to build a public game server at home that runs 24/7. I've built multiple desktop computers but I'm completely new to the world of server hardware, so looking at all the options out there is daunting and confusing for me, and I need help selecting the...

I actually built this in 2009 but it runs up to the present day. I use this for a big mixture of gaming, video editing, video capture, media conversion, audio production/capture/editing/restoration and photo editing. Poor thing does take a hammering. It's been water cooled since it started life...

Hi all, I am looking for a quiet workstation, which can be put inside a living room and will not make more noise then an ordinary desktop. It should have at least 3x16 pci slots for functional tests with nics ( i am making a networking research). I do not need a powefull cpu, it is primarily...

Hi Guys! Anyone have infos about the Dell T7920 workstation can work with ES CPUs? Thinking on purchase this machine and try estimates the oportunities about a jump in cost! Thanks!

So i'm hoping to finally join the ranks of Quanta Windmill owners. I know the last year or so i've seemed a little waffly, asking alot of diverse questions in different directions, and not yet jumping on deals offered by others - cash wasn't yet available during the struggle to get into...

Hey all, I haven't really had any projects running in a while so I'm looking to swap some server gear for some more typical consumer grade stuff. This post is to offer my Intel Xeon E5-2695 v3 ES Processor (QGN4) for trade. It's an ES, but it's the final stepping and fully as functional as the...

Hi, I'm planning a new workstation based on the new XEON-W platform, currently i'm running a X99 with i7-5820k (6C/12T 3.30 - 3.8) and 16G of ram (which im running out of all the time): Build’s Name: Workstation Operating System / Storage Platform: Windows 10 x64 Enterprise CPU: LGA2066 Intel...

Hello I currently have an Asus P8C-WS with an Ivy Bridge E3-1245 v2 Xeon. It is currently serving as a hackintosh. No sleep, no hibernate, must be forced to power off. But otherwise quite nice. It has 24 GB ECC RAM, but OS X has no MCE support for the chipset. Has seen very little use since...

I had to build a temporary server for a client earlier this year to replace a broken one and have one until his built to order one was delivered and setup. All the parts where new at time of build (except the RAID card I grabbed that out of another server) and less than a year old (was...

Over the labor day weekend I have been working on a new project: building a new workstation. This is the first time in years that I will be moving to a single socket system. For this edition, AMD Threadripper. I think it is important that if I am going to publicly recommend AMD products, that I...

Disclaimer: I'm a super noob when it comes to NA/file servers/pretty-much-anything-network-related. PLease be gentle with me. I recently moved my work pc to the living room after a bit of maintenance and have become quite accustomed to gaming on 42in tv I scored from a second hand store (for...

I've visited this site a bit recently, but I haven't made an account and posted until now. In the last few weeks, I have gotten the parts for and breadboarded a custom Workstation PC. The PCPartPicker list is at Extreme Workstation Build - evanzolman's Saved Part List - Xeon E5-269... -...

Hi, I have 2 i7 6700 and 1 i7 3770k. I'm looking to expand and thought a dual xeon would be better for my needs. I have no prior knowledge of workstation build, so based my build on this with few tweaks: Building a 32-Thread Xeon Monster PC for Less Than the Price of a Flagship Core i7 CPU...
