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.
 
CPU: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-366-IN
motherboard: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-206-MS
case: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-037-ZA
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
