Hi All,
I have been attempting to plan my server build for a few weeks, I know what I want it to do, but I don't know what components to use. My real problems finding the CPU/MOBO, but if you see any other glaring problems I would appreciate your input. I have a budget of around £1500-£2000. I am in the UK. I live in a rented apartment, so I am going the DIY approach for ease of transport, Less Noise etc. I do care about the power consumption, but its not a show stopper for me, as long as the idle power draw isn't absurd.
Main Use:
I appreciate any help you can give.
Cheers
