The DC P3700 2TB cost me ~$110 on ebay for a drive with 99% life left. I've never had issues with X570. I ran Star Citizen on that and that game is heavy CPU usage. It was not my decision to run that many Ark servers. Its a gaming community and a bunch of the people wanted every map Ark has...

I ended up getting the Sliger CX4150i. I went that route because I have an Icydock 2x 2.5" SSD hotswap bay that Im using for the OS drives. All game server files are going to live on a Intel DC P3700 2TB AIC and I will have a couple basic NVMe drives for any caching etc that is needed. (Redis...

I don't need a rack. I already have a rack. It's a 4 post rack. All i need is the case. SuperMicro 4U cases that are NOT limited to custom SuperMicro form factor boards start at either $800 (bare) or more. I'm building a game server. I have all the parts minus the case. I'm fine spending $400 on...

bump

Given the cost for a good 4U case, should I just get a Rosewill or Sliger 4U case? Ive been looking at the sliger ones like the CX4150a, CX4170a, and CX4150i. Or the CX4150e, CX4170i, CX4200i. As well as the Rosewill RSV-R4000U, RSV-R4100U, RSV-R4200U, RSV-L4000U, and RSV-L4500U. I do not...

its a game server

I have a 6028U X10DRU-i+ server and it is loud AF. Apparently SuperMicro doesnt have SQ PSUs for it. What mods can I do to make this thing quiet? I hear that I theoretically can put an SQ PSU in there with some dremeling but Im not positive. Another thing is the midplane fans. All fans are Delta...

I am looking for a 4U server chassis that supports ATX motherboards and ATX PSUs. Also a plus if it has sliding rails.

I am replacing a Dell R720 PITA with a custom build. This is for a game server build so I need fast cores, good IPC and IPMI/BMC. I can find 1920X/1950X/2920X/etc all day long on ebay but not X399 boards with IPMI. I am open to suggestions and offers. This will be an all flash system. I already...

so i could possibly fit 2 3/5.25 --> 4/3.5 sleds in it?

I am wanting to buy in CONUS a PC case with at least 8 x 5.25 bays. Cases like the Antec 900, Antec 1200, Antec 1200 V2, Lian Li PC-D600, Lian Li PC-A79, Silverstone TJ11B and so on. I am wanting to build a DIY server setup with Hotswap bays from Icydock. I live in South East Texas

are the parts standard ATX? In other words, could they be ripped out by the buyer and transplanted into a new case?

The best way to find out is to watch the Linux kernel patches. Intel basically always sends their stuff to the Kernel devs before you ever see it on Window

i run Mullvad for my VPN. Easy peasy. I also have PIA. your Nord experience sounds like they dont give AF about Linux. Mullvad has simple apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and Firefox. Linux was as simple as Download and install .deb package. Login. VPN connected.
