If you want to transcode videos for streaming and run a game server in one machine you will get into problems. The first thing media servers seem to suffer from is drive speeds. ther server won't be running 24/7 it's just for when I need it. But the killer for me is that I have no idea how these processors and ram perform and what the differences are from regular consumer grade processors and what I need to watch out for.

Graphics Card: 2Gb nVidia Quadro 4000 Graphics Card.Įitherway, I need a cpu with a cpu mark of over atleast 8000. Hard Drive: 1 x 128Gb SSD Solid State Hard Drive + 1 x 1000Gb 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive. Processor: 2 x E5-2609 Xeon Processors (4 Cores x 2 = 8 Cores = 16 Threads). HP Z620 fully refurbished workstations available in stock. Nvidia Quadro 600 (or Quadro 2000) / + $50 for a Quadro 4000 Two Intel Xeon HEX core Processor 2.80GHz X5660 (12 cores with hyperthreading - 24 logical processors) HP Z600 Dual HEX Xeon 2.80Ghz / 48GB RAM / 160GB SSD / Quadro Intel Xeon Hex Core (twelve threads w/hyperthreading) X5650 processor I just need some tips and advice as I have never worked with xeon processors before and not sure what to expect.ġ.Dell Precision T3500 Xeon Hex 2.66GHz / 80GB SSD / 16GB / Radeon HD6850

Or second hand computers with xeon processors.

For this purpose, I'm looking at picking up a second hand machine, maybe an office pc with an i7 (the GPU can wait, I'm in no hurry for the gaming server). I would be streaming to other devices including my phone and hence would need to transcode sometime and therefore I need to make sure I've got enough processing power for 3-4 devices simultaneously. But primarily this would be a Plex media server. So I've wanted to setup a private media server/htpc with Plex and use it to double up as a game server occasionally, mostly for minecraft and some other games.
