Hi,
I'm looking to build a new system as my Xeon E3-1231 system is about 8 years old and running at 77% full. I figure this would be a good time to try SCALE as I've only played around in CORE. Currently my system runs 3 jails for various bits and pieces (Sabnzbd etc., Plex, and Nextcloud) and I occasionally will set up a VM to play around in a new OS. The system is only for home use and has never batted an eye with cpu never going above 25% I'd say (probably lower tbh). What I'm looking at is as follows:
Supermicro X11SPL-F
128GB (4x 32GB DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMM)
Intel Xeon SILVER 4208 (BX806954208)
6 x WD Red Plus 10TB 3.5' NAS HDD SATA3 7200RPM
450-550W PSU (recommendations? Is it enough?) - my budget might be around $150 AUD ($100USD)
OS running on 2x Kingston SA400S37/240G AS400SSD 2.5inch 7mm SATA3 SSD
Fractal Design 7 XL case with 4-6 fans
The above was chosen primarily because it seems *really* difficult to get Supermicro boards here in Australia so my choices seem to be fairly limited (global skus, prices are outrageous). I'd like to future proof a little bit and ideally get the same amount of life out of this rig as the last one - the large case would allow for future expansion. I would simply put more drives in my current setup but 1) the case is too small 2) I don't have a backup system so this would give me an opportunity to move the old one to backup.
Is this total overkill? Any issues with the above setup?
Thanks
