Is my build okay?
Last response: in Components
I'm considering building a server to learn all about servers and virtualization and so on.
I don't have a good idea of what exactly I need though.
Servers need lots of RAM in real use and such, but for a home lab use do I need 32 GB or even 16 GB?
How should I future proof? Are hyper-threaded Xeons much better?
I would use this server for anything I can get my hands on through schools and in the future and I guess
that would include things like Virtualization, Windows, Linux, database, file, mail, print, web -servers...
My build:
Intel Server Board S1200BTL ATX 224,90 €
Intel Xeon E3-1220 -processor LGA1155 217,90 €
TWO Western Digital Caviar Black 500 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 32MB 99,90 €
Kingston ValueRAM KVR1333D3E9SK2/8G 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz ECC CL9 DIMM with Thermal Sensor 86,90 €
Antec BP 550U-EC Basiq 550W 70,90 €
(I might buy a PSU from Corsair or Seasonic instead, but this should suffice too I think)
Antec Three Hundred ATX-case 58,90 €
TOTAL:
859,30 €
++RAM (Another pair of 2x4GB to get 16 GB):
946,20 €
Or should I just buy a PC to play world of warcraft and drink the rest? (just kidding)

since this is just for you to learn on how about you build a new gaming pc and use the old one as your server.Though this whole build is just a thought I'm considering, I don't really play video games much.
Would you say that an AMD Athlon 64 X2 with 3GB of memory might run virtualized servers well?
