Help build server!
-
Just as the title says. I'm looking around for a pet project and would like to fiddle around with a server I could stock pile a bunch of raid drives into to mine burst.
You guys mind giving me your opinions? I'm looking at the 200$ and lower servers
I'd go up to 400$ but anything over that seems to much for a toy, I'd love your suggestions and setups
-
@dagentlemang If sole purpose to mine burst, do not buy a server and do not use RAID.
Servers components are usually more expensive than PC builds and such servers comes with SAS drives which will make it more expensive to expand.
-
So none of these would make for a decent pet project? I just wanted to insert a whole bunch of sata drives 3.5 and plot them at a decent speed
Thank you for the response, I have a rig at home I just wanted to tinker with something new and this guy is pretty close to where I live
-
@dagentlemang They would if you utilize the server for hosting (for example) and do mining on the side but not the opposite.
-
@dagentlemang If you can pick up a rig cheap go for it - SAS based servers can accept standard SATA drives. I've got a couple of DL380 G6's mining .....
