Quick Spec Check

[Casidus]

Hi, I've posted here before asking for advice on specs and it went really well and I'm pretty confident with dekstops/gaming machines.

Now I've got a new challenge, I've drawn up a spec for a home office based openVZ/xen server.

Quick note: I've got 2 500gb hdd's for raid 1 setups as that's all i'll need and a budget is £600

Hopefully ordering this week

Thanks

Swap the mobo for a Z68 which will then allow you to OC the CPU properly and still use the onboard GPU

shame some of the stuff is out of stock

i assume you wont need any sort of big graphics card for this, because something at GTX 460 levels of power consumption or above would have me worried with this PSU

also, if you get to 100 posts you get free shipping, so get posting (general discussion should get you the posts in no time)
