I dont know if this is the right place for this question, but im looking for a rack server. I dont care what brand or if it needs to be custom built. But i know i need at least the following:
-Xeon E5 v2 quad core CPU(need the CPU to support at least 1600Mghz ram speeds thats why v2)
-Motherboard that supports minimum 64GB ram (supports 1 or 2 CPU's doesnt matter)
-At least 8GB ddr3 1600Mghz RAM
-gigabit Ethernet port (i assume this is standard though)
-Dont need drives (already have drives)
-Dont need a raid controller (will buy one later)
Custom built or pre made doesnt mtter but my issue is, my budget caps at 500$ maybe 600$ but no higher so im not even sure if such a server is possible. I was looking at legacy Xeon's but they all cap at under 1600Mghz speeds for ram. If its possible, please find me one, if not it wouldnt surprise me.
Also if you are wondering what im using it for, im actually using it for various things.
-Practicing working on server hardware and linux CMD
-web hosting
-media server
-storage
-light game hosting (more or less minecraft and its server spec requiring equivalents)
i plan to upgrade the server in the future with even stronger specs. but of course right now im limited on money.
If anyone has input on if the above server im asking for even is good enough or too good for what im asking im glad to hear suggestions. Maybe i dont need such a good server rn, or maybe i need to wait. but if i can get by with something ill take it. Thanks to all who reply!
