This is what ive specced up so far, want this as a server slash minimal gaming system

Basically always on, holding all the music and video files, and able to play cod 4 for example

Any ideas?

Not really up on servers but yeah looks ok to me, any kind of gaming depending on res you might need to beef up the gfx somewhat, 260gtx minimum imho ;)

Ha ha ha, you fool mac! Might just buy a sapphire 4870 :|

[nft99]

build a lower power usage server and then see how much you got left over for a gaming rig :)

[jonwoad]

MSI Wind desktop with NAS box?

Joking bud, trying to get a rise from you know who ;) :thumbsup:


And why taint your server with that red thing??

[Shedlife]

Yes I'm likin' that card you have there...TOP OF THE RANGE :P

[Monkey]

The range of cards on a pile of ****

[wonderlust]

If it's only use is a server why not get a G31 or G33 chipset board?

[Monkey]

Cos i want it to run games too

Atleast COD 4 sorta low spec if you get what i mean

[Lynx]

You want it to play games, or run them as a server normally does?

[Monkey]

Both
