Hi all. can u help me spec a server pc that needs the following requirements:

Run multiple servers at once(web, tomcat, SabNZB, SQL, GIT/Gerrit etc))
able to connect a minimum of 6 hdd's in the case and mobo
wisper slient
cool running
Able to run ubuntu server easily

What i need:

Multicore CPU
RAM
MOBO(with intergrated gpu)
Mid tower case that can hold 6 hdd's
possibly a passive cpu cooler

budget. £200.

Preference, Intel but dont mind AMD if its cheaper and better for the money.

RAM: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS

that comes to £224.92 which is slightly over but that gives you 4 cores to play with and 1gb per thread allowing enough for ubuntu server or any linux server

cheers. that looks nice

either of these builds would do you rightly, i for fun was testing ubuntu server out you can run it off a pentium 4 with 1gb of ram, it being command line and ubuntu is not very cpu intensive so you can run it of basically anything

i previously ran my server on a old pentum 4 norhwood and it ran fine but its dead now

Have you concidered a HP Microserver?

They are around £150 after rebate

how many hdd's can fit on that?
