trurl Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Are you talking US dollars? Even without disks that budget seems tight. 1 Quote Link to comment
whipdancer Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Do you have any components now? Otherwise, used is the only way I can see pulling that off. 1 Quote Link to comment
xiaemerson Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 I do have a power supply but that's all I have changed my budget to $700 Quote Link to comment

whipdancer Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Pick your compromise... You can look for a used server. As long as you are in a major market, you should be able to find something. It will be old, but functional and cover everything you've listed. You can buy new-,ish and plan for growth. Ryzen is a good value. You can pick up a 1000 series CPU fur a good price and pair it with a higher end board to gain compatibility as you acquire more powerful versions. A minimum of RAM, like a single 8gb stick, and a couple 1tb drives. You would be able to do a coupe of Dockers and Nas with no issues. Light VM potential. Best of all the foundation parts can support more ( better CPU, memory, GPU, drives,). Quote Link to comment
