I am trying to figure out a personal R&D box so I can tinker with various data-mining ideas at home. As one can imagine, that stuff is reasonably RAM/CPU/HD hungry. I took a look around and it seems I can get a cheap used server with good specs off Newegg for under a grand. However, I have a serious space constraint due to living in a Manhattan apartment with a hoarder wife. The only case size I can fit into my closet is 15" x 15" x 15" (roughly).
So, the question is - can I find a hardware configuration that will fit into that type of space and yet will have enough juice? Let's say 64GB+ RAM, 2 CPUs and 4TB of storage.
