The next server build
posted on 09:51 AM on Saturday 08 November 2014
I guess with the availability of Haswell-E, my next server will be based on that. With updated storage and DDR4 memory, it will probably meet my needs of more memory and storage. So I will probably be tracking the cost of the system for a while to see when would be a good time to get it. The following is the current cost at Fuwell.
| Item | Cost | Units | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crucial Ballistix Sport 2400MHz 1x8GB | 199 | 2 | 398 |
| Asrock X99 Extreme4 with Intel i7 5820K | 875 | 1 | 875 |
| Corsair HX750i Modular 750W | 229 | 1 | 229 |
| Corsair H80i Hydro Cooling | 158 | 1 | 158 |
| WD Green 6TB | 338 | 4 | 1352 |
Total cost is $3012.
So the total cost today would be about $3k or so. Let’s take a look a couple of weeks later.
