Ultra-Cheap server/torrent box

theiDunnotouch · Mar 7, 2014

Ok, I'd like to build a 200-250$ server/torrent box pc that needs to run 24/7. I live in China so parts are EXTREMELY cheap

what would you guys recommend?

thanks in advance

I was looking into building one of these myself. Here is my build:

I can't seem to find the PSU but it was a Corsair VS350

I was also going to use a couple of WD Reds for the storage

And for the OS Ubuntu Server

Obviously you'll be able to get it cheaper in China

I see the CPU is only 1.6 ghz I've already got Windows server 2008 so yeah...

I was thinking of getting a Phenom X2 560

4gb of DDR3

I don't know what motherboard though?

Can you recommend something?

Ok, I didn't need much CPU power as it's only Ubuntu.

For the Phenom I would recommend:

Ranfty :

The Phenom X2 uses the AM3 socket, the motherboard you listed uses the FM2+ socket, the two aren't compatible

Any recommendations

Thanks for the Input though thanks

Sorry I miss read that. My fault!

After looking online it doesn't seem as though they make any AM3 mini ITX motherboards

There is however this CPU similar:
