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

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 total
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:
- http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/185469/COOLING_CPU_FANS/Arctic_Cooling/UCACO-FI30001-GB.asp $47 (needs to be side fan)
SSD(s):

PSU: (may come with case)
Graphics: can be shit, we will never use it except for admin...unless we decide to double heathred's use as a GPU crunching machine (hence why Bob wants full height card support)
