Forgive me in advance. I don't know much about this sort of stuff. I'm ordering a new 1080P 60FPS capture card and I plan to stream PC games. My main PC is being upgraded and all is well with that. My main question is: will buying a server oriented PC (With multiple older Xeon CPUS running at around 2.0GHZ-2.4GHZ) be good for a dedicated streaming PC? Also, will the PCI-E based capture card fit into a server rack case (I'm assuming if I'm getting something along the lines of a server computer, it'll be a case meant for a server rack), even if I need to buy some sort of adapter?

If anyone has any recommendations along the lines of what I should be looking for in a system like this (Specific CPUS, etc etc...) I'll be more than welcome to hear people out.

Thanks!

Servers are unsuiteable for anything than serving, sorry. Also, using multiple CPUs is not useful for the vast majority of streaming programs, as they will only use one core if one cingle cpu. The others will remain idle. I recommend buying a pre-built HTPC for streaming, or grab the Intel Compute Stick for 120 bucks.
