December 2, 20205 yr Hello guys, I have been lurking for some time and finally want to get my own server again. I am in IT, but not servers. I would appreciate any advice. The server will host: Radarr, sonarr, jackett, bazarr Jellyfin Nextcloud (For family pictures, and file backup) The server should be able to run at least 3/4 transcodes at a time. I want to get a tower because I dont have a rack and placing a tower is easier and makes less noise. What I am look for in this system is: 100ish W during load and idle as low as possible. (24/7 100W is about 20 euros per month of electricity. Would like to stay under 20 euros). Remote management, I am not always at the home this server will be at. Not to old (2015ish+ otherwise more power draw less performance) (optional but nice) something that looks decent. My budget is 200ish. If something is a really good deal i think i can stretch a little. Because i would like remote management I probably need enterprise hardware. And my budget only kinda allows for second hand stuff. Dell Poweredge T110 II | Xeon E3 1220 - 35€ (Dont think it has IPMI, think this is not the best choice) HP Proliant ML310e V2 gen8 | E3 1220 V3 | 4gb - 150€ has ILO HP Proliant MicroServer Gen8 | G1610T | 8Gb RAM - 150€ has ILO DIY build for sale - 150~200€ (Rack mounted tho) Dell PowerEdge T130 (T130-5812) | E3 1225 V6 | 24GB DDR4 | 1 TB hdd - 250€ has IDRAC8 (auction with no bids yet ends in 3 days) specs of #4: - SuperMicro X9SCM-F - Intel Xeon E5 1220 v2 - 16GB DDR3-1333 ECC UDIMM - IBM ServeRAID M5014 Raid: Shadow Legends controller - 300W FSP - Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB SSD - 2x 2TB HP SAS disks The CPU in system 2 draws more power compared to 3, but can be replaced with newer E3 12XXL or something. 2 is from a respected seller where 3 is from a private seller. Someone here had a HP Proliant ML310e gen 8 V2 (2) and said it draws 35W during a preclear: I was planning on sticking in a cheap quadro to do the transcoding. What do you guys think I should do? Thank you for helping a server novice out.
December 2, 20205 yr I'm running something very similar to spec #4 Supermicro x10sll-f w/ Xeon E3-1241 and 16gb ram. I draw about 65w of power when at idle, under full load (Transcoding 4k to phone) its never goes above 200w. It can software transcode only a single instance before problem arise. I looked at adding a GPU but I'm out of PCIE slots. I would look at adding a GPU to the mix
