Hi folks,
I'm planning on making a small homeserver to use up some spare Desktop parts I have at home and to try move away from constantly having to rent short term game servers for myself and the group every few months.
I have a spare Ryzen 3600x, 16gb DDR4 and possibly a PSU (May need replaced) laying around the house and was thinking of using them in a homeserver but I'm unsure exactly what specs I want to look out for in a mobo if I'm mainly going to be using it as a game server (I would possibly also use it as a NAS for mainly photography stuff)
I'd be fairly familiar with what I'm looking out for when choosing a desktop build but would be fairly new to server stuff. Ideally something that isnt drinking down power usage and is realtively smaller form factor would be ideal.
If anyone can point me in the right direction for information would be wholly appreciative.
Cheers
