Server computer & Control

[hazard98]

Hi, should buy 2 server-computers and 1 control-computer.
I want it like the Facebook servers, I want to set it up to a control-computer etc
I want the best

 

[sk1939]

What exactly do you want to do with these systems? What is your budget?

 

[hazard98]

I want to have some FTPs and 1 Website on them
My budget is 8000KR (Swedish Crowns)

 

[sk1939]

Do you have a static IP address? What is your internet connection?


For your needs, you only need a single server. You could try building your own, but I would recommend the HP ProLiant ML110 G7.

 

[hazard98]

Yeah.
But what components?

 

[sk1939]

Are you going to try to build it yourself? I would advise against it if you are going to do this as a business.

Yes with a normal desktop-case :=)

I hope this is for your own use, because any down time will cost you considerable money if you have clients.

Do you have an operating system in mind?

Yes. Windows 2008 Server.. But is this stable?

 

[sk1939]

2008 Server is very stable, especially if you are using R2. Do you have a CPU brand preference?

Yes, but I need to buy components

Yes, but I need to buy components

If your set on building it yourself:

2 x Intel Xeon E5-2620
SUPERMICRO MBD-X9DRL-3F-O
8 x Crucial 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC Unbuffered DDR3 1333
Intel 710 Series ( Lyndonville) 100GB 2.5" SATA II eMLC
6 x Western Digital WD RE4 WD1003FBYX
7 x Coboc 3 ft. SATA 3 Cable w/ Metal Latch (90 Degree 180 Degree)

Do you need a power supply and case as well?
