Okay, I'm going to build a rack server to host various things like Minecraft, Mumble, a web site, etc. and I need some experienced professionals to look over my build to ensure everything will work:
http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=24611446

Here are my concerns:
That chassis says it can only take a single Intel/AMD CPU. I chose two CPUs, but why won't the chassis take two? It's an ATX compatible. Can someone explain this to me and whether or not I can put two CPUs in there?

Also, will those fans/heatsinks work with my selected CPUs?

And of course, general criticism is welcomed! I want something that's going to last!

Thanks!

Might be 'just enough', but maybe they won't guarantee that config works with that PSU.

I don't really recommend having a home server to use for things like Game, Mumble or Website servers, mostly because you would have to have an EXTREMELY good internet Download and Upload speed, also it's ALOT of money to spend in one sitting when you could pay about $90 a month for something much more powerful. It costs about $60 a month for a server with 16GB of RAM and $90 a month for a server with 32GB of RAM. All these prices are for the minecrafted website (https://order.minecrafted.net/cart.php?gid=2) When they become availible of course, I just relized that they are out of stock, but however getting a dedicated server from a company will still be much cheaper than hosting one from home, also if you have an old computer just sitting around you could make that into a server for Minecraft, Mumble ect. Easily, I have done it many times before.

True, but by my calculations, that PSU should be just enough run what I have.

@Upstagebuffalo
I would like to build and have a physical server on hand for multipurpose uses. I don't like having to pay monthly to someone else. Also, I have a decent cable connection. Thanks for the tip though!
