My dad needs a server for his business. He would like 32GB of "as fast as possible" RAM (he's not a hardware dude, just software) and an 8 core/thread CPU (He has an [email protected] in his work PC, and he says it would be fine)
He has this rack-type for the networking, and he asked if the server could be installed here.
I've only ever configured normal 1/2U long servers, like this;
where all of the hardware I needed was right in front of me, with a description of how the RAID should be set up etc. (at my work)
Is it possible to get a server that would fit in the rack?
Would it be much more expensive than buying Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3, 32GB RAM (possibly/preferred ECC) and ASUS P9D WS - and using already owned Coolermaster SilentPro 1000W Bronze/600W Gold, Fractal Design XL w/ Corsair AF fans and Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo?
