Building a cheap quad-core server

Submitted by specialj on Wed, 2008-01-23 04:21.

I was considering recommending a cheap quad-core server for a client. Here’s what I came up with:

  • AMD Phenom 9500 (Agena core, 2.2GHz, Socket AM2+, 95W) ~ $200
  • ASUS M3A (Socket AM2+, AMD 770, ATI SB600) ~ $100
  • 4GB DDR2 1066 (4x1GB) ~ $200
  • 2x WD Caviar RE2 500GB ~ $250
  • Total (not including Case. PSU, 2nd Nic, Video Card) ~ $750

I suspect once I pick the rest of the parts I can purchase a quad-core system for less than $1000. Pretty nice.
