APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Start April
BUDGET RANGE: None, but not willing to pay the stupid tax for a 10% improvement (not on this box anyhow )
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Webserver (with SQL)
PARTS NOT REQUIRED:
It's a remote accesed box, so no need for keyboard, mouse, monitor, soundcard, speakers, etc
Got all needed software.
Re-using my Antec 1080
PREFERRED WEBSITES FOR PARTS: newegg.com, getmore.dk (but don't really care, if it can be gotten cheaper at another reputable webshop)
PARTS PREFERENCES:
CPU : Intel (Quad something)
MB : Onboard video (1600*1200 for remote monitor) (Don't want a GFX card in there)
HD : 500GB+ (low noise)
PSU : Something efficient (Gold) and not too overpowered compared to what the system needs.
OVERCLOCKING: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: No monitor (but 1600*1200 remote access)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
95% a webserver (with SQL)
Requirements are for a low power / low noise system
I've seen the new Intel Quad S-series - They seem to fit the bill for the CPU, but... As this is going to be a true server - Should I go Xeon (I have no clue/experience with these)?
I don't expect the system to ever be truly taxed but I like headroom (just in case...)
Noise is very important, so suggestions for CPU cooler (not going liquid) and new case fans (old ones are.. old) would be appriciated.
MB is probably where I need the most help tbh.
Suggestions with arguments why a particular board would be good for this build would be appriciated (so we all can learn a bit in the process)
======================
Component's sofar (but not set in stone)
CPU : Intel Q8200S
CPU Cooler : Thermalright HR-01 Plus (Comes without a fan)
CPU Cooler fan : Nexus Real Silent Case Fan SP802512L-03
PSU : Corsair HX450W
MB :
GA-EG45M-UD2H - If I can get it in a reasonable timeframe (not widely available atm).
Else the GA-EG45M-DS2H
[strike]Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H[/strike] (this one could easily change yet, pending replies here)
HD : Samsung SpinPoint F1 Desktop Class HD103UJ 1TB
RAM : G.SKILL HK 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Almost done, just need to figure out if I can get hold of the GA-EG45M-UD2H
