Hello Everyone !
We need to build a new server for our business. The server will be hosting around 2 - 4 Tb worth of office information such as Quick Books , Excel , Microsoft Word and other project files. The server will be mapped to around 25 computers and also will be connected with over 10 printers. We will mostly be using it as a file server , mail server, printer server and have active directory installed.
Here is the break down. Our Budget Is $2800 for the Motherboard , Ram , Hard drives , CPU , Raid controller card. We already have the rest of the parts which we have purchased brand new.
We are looking for a Server Motherboard , 32Gb ECC Memory , 2 hard drives for raid 1 support , Quad or Hex core Intel CPU , and a raid controller card.
We don't have room for a rack mount so we have to keep this in a Full tower Atx Case if possible. We also want to purchase everything from Newegg or Amazon if possible.
We are Located In USA , Santa Monica CA. We plan to build this asap. We already have the windows server Operating System, PSU ( 750 Watts ) , Enclosure Case, Optical Drive.
As of now these are the parts we are looking at
Hard Drive
Server MotherBoard
Server Memory
Xeon Processor
Haven't looked at a controller card yet hopefully u guys can help us with that and put all these in our $2800 budget.
We're trying to set this up ASAP. Please let me know what you guys think. Any feedback or recommendations are appreciated thanks for the help !
