I'm looking to build a PC and use it as a psuedo-NAS by sharing a drive over the network through Windows network sharing. My target for storage size is ~75 TB. If I go the absolutely cheapest route possible, this would cost around $3500 (I can Raid0 8x10 TB HDD). Okay, this all sounds risky...

@artonline, I feel your pain. I have been through 4 different vendors who listed the asus z10pe-d16 MoBo as available, ordered it, only to find out it was in fact out of stock. This has been a frustrating couple of weeks.

Correct, the Xeon E5 CPU does not have integrated graphics. I think there might be a GPU on the Asus Z10PE-D16 WS motherboard itself. In the specifications it lists: Graphic ASpeed AST2400 32MB VGA port*2 - Supports VGA with max. resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz I am confused why it would have...

I ordered all parts for a system build work with the Asus Z10PE-D16 ws Mobo, but the Amazon retailer I purchased the MoBo from just informed me that it would be 2-5 months for delivery of MoBO--despite the fact that it was listed as available on Amazon's website. So, I proceeded to look for...

Yes, there is room for all peripherals and the OS needs to be installed. I am wondering if it is possible to simply use the built in VGA for this purpose (and built in graphics), or if it is necessary to buy a GPU card. This may seem like a dumb question, but I have never built a computer...

Follow up question: Would it be possible to skip the graphics card altogether? I'm currently not using CUDA and will be accessing this machine remotely.

In all fairness, I would prefer to compare CUDA to CUDA. Of course comparing something with 448 cores to something with only 4 cores will give very different results depending on which benchmarks are used. FWIW, I will not be using a Tesla C2075 in this build. The question is still between...

BambiBoom, Thank you so much for that response! I find it extremely helpful. I will update as I make the final decisions.

We are running custom software on the machine. Thank you very much for pointing out that motherboard and workstation! They look very promising... as long as the price isn't substantially higher than the alternative, I will highly consider using one of those. The SuperMicro X10DAi Mobo looks...

That was good advice showing a comparison between 8 core Xeon vs 2x 4 core Xeon. I am convinced I want to build around the E5-2637. This will be running software that I wrote. It is hard to say whether it will be I/O or CPU bound, so I am hedging my bets a little. I am mostly looking for...

Wow, you are correct! So, even though the Z10PE-D16 WS specification is only for the v3 processors: "Build in Intel® Socket 2011-3: Square type (80x80mm) Processors Intel® Socket 2011-3 for Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v3 product family" They are supporting the v4 processors? If it is not...

Before I drop almost $4k on this build, I would most appreciate some feed back. I am convinced that the CPU selection is correct, so I am building around the Xeon E5-2637 v3 (v4 doesn't seem to have a retail MoBo to support it). This machine will be accessed remotely, so the GPU is secondary for...

I'm building a machine on the Asus Z10PE-D16 MoBo, and planning on only using 1 of the 2 CPU sockets initially (1 Xeon E5-2637 v3). Will this create any issue for me? I will only be using 64 GB of the possible 1TB of RAM.

Well, I guess I am going with E5-2637 v3. It is almost as good as v4, but without the potential head ache. Thank you junkeymonkey for the advice on board support. Best answer to WildCard999 for finding the part at a reasonable price.

According to the Intel website, it launched in Q1 2016 (Jan 1 -> Mar 31)? Also, this article written 2 weeks ago says they have launched the E5 v4s. But, I can't find the E5-2637 v4 anywhere, and it is not listed on websites like PCPARTPICKER.com. Am I missing something? Does it take it a...
