Hello,
I am planing a VM "server". First of all what I'm planing to do is to have 4 VMs:
[*]"Work VM": everything work related. I'm a Software Developer and Project Manager. Debian 8
[*]"Work VM Dev": a clone of the "Work VM" but for testing new features, updates etc. Debian 8+
[*]"Game VM": Windows games nothing to fancy mainly Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft. Win 10
[*]"Private VM": My daily driver. Debian 8
My current system (2600K, 8GB, 250 GB 840) however can't handle it because of A. no VT-d and B. not enough RAM. So after 5 years of use I'm planing a new one. I wanted to wait until Skylake-E or Skylake-EP came out but I don't see any advantage in doing so anymore.
So I configured a ECC and non-ECC system. I will only post the ECC system because the price difference is only around 135-140 € so I'll go with that.
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-1650 v4, 6x 3.60GHz, boxed (BX80660E51650V4)
RAM: Kingston ValueRAM DIMM Kit 32GB, DDR4-2400, CL17-17-17, reg ECC (KVR24R17S8K4/32)
Board: ASRock Rack EPC612D4U (I thought about going with the EPC612D4U-2T8R but I don't need 10 GBit within the next 5 years)
Flash drive: SanDisk Cruzer Fit 8GB
SSD: 850 Evo 1 TB
What I will take from the old system:
PSU: Seasonic X-Series Fanless X-460FL 460W
Case: Aerocool DS Cube
Cooling: Custom kit from Alphacool
GPU: EVGA GTX 660 Ti FTW Signature 2
Display: Dell U2713H
So what do you think of this build? Is it ok or should I buy something else, do you see any problem with the hardware and unraid or will it work with my proposed use case?
Looking forward to hearing from you
