Hello all.

I've been tasked with building a 4u rackmount server that will be connected to around 25 pc's within the same building. And also will have to have communication with our main server at a different building 30 miles away

I have built all my works pc's over the years but i've never had to upgrade the server they have and this is where i become a little stuck


So the case i shall be using and that i have sat next to me at this moment in time is a Antec 4U Rackmount Chassis

As far as components go what do you think would be best. Should i get a single xeon in there or do i get a i5 or i7?

also what would be a good amount of ram? 16gb?

last off as far as a display goes should i just get a simple LCD screen
?

thanks to all
 
as i said over the years ive build the desktop and workstations for autocad etc.

I was asked if i could build a rackmount and i said i would give it ago and let them know dnt really want to buy a pre build one as i have the feeling i can save money by building my own much like a desktop pc would be cheaper doing so.

Also doing one myself gives me a little extra knewledge
