HEATH LOVEDAY MEMORIAL GAMES SERVER (RE)BUILD

Heathred is getting old and needs a rebuild. Focus on speed over reliability and server features.

Thankyou to everyone for your pledges

[BOB]: $10
[TPG]: $100(ish)
[RVS]: $500

SPECS

• Case:
  • must be rackmount with tool-less rails
  • prefer if it can take a standard ATX power supply so that it is a flexible, reusable case
  • probably want 3-4U so it can fit full-height cards (and the ATX PSU)
• Mobo:
  • must be able to fit in case (duh)

  • http://foxcomp.com.au/ProductDetail.asp?ID=19568 $300

• RAM:
  • not ecc ram, it's too expensive
  • 32GB plz, kthxbye

  • two sets of http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=186_218_1125&products_id=18372 $238

• CPU(s):
  • i7 is faster and supports 8 ram slots

  • http://www.netplus.com.au/product/CPINPDI7-3930K/Intel_Core_i7_3930K_LGA2011_3.2_to_3.8Ghz_12Mb_CPU_6C12T_No_Fan_130W $634

• CPU Fan:

  • Something like http://www.acmemicro.com/ShowProduct.aspx?pid=10037 (needs to be side fan)

• SSD(s):
  • no spinning disks please. This server has to be able to move easily. Two SSD's in mirrored raid.
• PSU: (may come with case)
• Graphics: can be shit, we will never use it except for admin...unless we decide to double heathreds use as a GPU crunching machine (hence why Bob wants full height card support)
