Server Build

[Robin]

Hey lads, I'm going to build a dedicated server machine and I am still brainstorming for ideas.

Does anyone got any experience in this field and/or has some suggestions?

I'll most likely add a leftover GPU that I still have laying around

Any idea on the budget for the server build?

Disks itself cost 500-ish alone.
Outside of that about another 400 I think. All in euros.

Keep in mind I can buy this as company assets and I can request back the tax, which is 21%.

What do you plan on hosting? Perhaps you should make some deals infront so you can repay of what it cost you in 12 months.

Currently on 9 websites, 2 SA-MP servers (both private), 2 KSP servers and some other stuff.

I'm going to use it for this:
Backup Server
Network Drive
DHCP Server
Email Server
FTP Server
Game Servers
Media Server
VPN Server
Webserver (websites)
SQL Server (database)

And how many at once?
