Hello all,
I currently have a nice unraid server based out of a define 7, i3 12100 64gb ram. Runs various dockers / storage / game servers.
I am in the very lucky position that I don't pay for power in my residence.
I am a member of various enterprise hardware selling groups on FB and notice people selling stuff and get shot down a bit due to older hardware basically being E-waste mainly due to performance to power ratio.
As i am in the situation of not paying power could OCuk recomend me what I should look for in some server hardware to just do more of what my server does right now for me to play about with.
I fancy rack mounted stuff with silly amounts of ram for game servers.
I would though have issue with really loud servers and I *think* im a bit stuck with that fact as the way the fans and air flow works they all run mega high RPM but id welcome some info if I am wrong.
For a initial server I can either collect an e-waste server but dont mind spending up to £400 for something a bit nice just outdated.
Thanks all,
Hopefully thats enough to start with some info from you friendly lot but would love to discuss further.
