I got hired to build some beefy computers that are all interchangeable with each other in a medical clinic, alongside of a server. So that means all will be fairly nice and the server will be crazy. No video editing or anything relying too heavily on the GPU. They will be used for data computing. Regardless of the use here I am with a pocket full of cash and the need to bring something back that is stunning. There will be 4 desktop computers, 1 server, and a few tablets for walking nurses. My build is focused on computing speed and trying to eliminate bottlenecking between devices. My computers are designed to support thunderbolt for the server connection and would appreciate if someone could help me with server details. I don't have any server building experience and would love some feedback! My budget for each Computer is 2k, reliability and noise or big factors in this build as well. Thank you much here's my build so far:

Since it is for medical clinic, it doesn't need discrete GPU.
Taking out the GTX750TI and upgrading cpu to i7 4790 (I don't think such "office" pcs should be overclocked, they need 100% reliable stability)

A H100i is a bit overkill, a H80i GT should work better.
Also, the fans on it should be swapped with EKWB Vardar F4-120 or Noctua NF-F12 IndustrialPPC-2000.
For better cooling and less noise.


The PSU should be swapped with XFX Pro or XTR series, Seasonic Platinum series or EVGA SuperNova GS/G2 series.
Also, around 500W will be plenty.

Up the RAM from 8Gb to 16Gb. Just because you can.

And you don't need all those fans. Leave some out.

Office computers?
Liquid cooling?
Bluray?
GPU?
Extra fans?

Too much gunk. That looks far more like a gaming PC rather than an office PC.

What I'm not seeing is:
OS, both server and desktop
Backup situation for the clients and the server(s)
Is the 480GB SSD large enough for ALL applications? Probably. If so, then why the HDD? If you also have the HDD, maybe a smaller SSD (250GB)
