So my old gaming PC (built 6 yrs ago) is now in the loft gathering dust, but I've decided I need something I can leave on 24/7 to run VM's that doesn't draw a lot of power and ideally in a small case.

More than happy to spec something new, but here's the gaming pc spec for reference (old grfx card died).

  • Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 (will overclock up to 4.6Ghz)
  • Asus Z77 Maximus V Gene Intel Z77 Motherboard
  • G.Skill RipJawsX 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz RAM
  • Aero Cool Dead Silence Gaming Orange Mini Tower Windowed
  • AeroCool X-Vision 5-Channel LCD Fan Controller
  • Corsair Professional Series AX 860W '80 Plus Platinum' Modular Power Supply
  • Corsair AF120 Quiet Edition Low Noise High Airflow Fans
  • Creative Sound Blaster Z High Performance Gaming Sound Card
  • Corsair M4 128BG SSD Drive
Any comments or advice would be gratefully received. TIA.
 
Hi mate. To start off with, just basic stuff like Splunk on Ubuntu and possibly a Unifi NVR for security cameras. Going forward, I'll want to use it for some microsoft training.
 
Cheers guys. It would be nice to consider a Mini ITX with a couple of SSD's and 32GB RAM to future proof it. Just need to get an idea of how much it's gonna cost me to keep on 24/7.
