Hello i am thinking of building a mini-itx server to host 1 or 2 minecraft servers on, 24/7. I will give a list of my items and the idea behind them. Any input would be greatly appreciated
case
Cooler Master Elite 120.
PSU.
Corsair Builder Series CXM 430W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX/EPS PSU
You won't need the graphical power of the APU. You could get am AM3+ Phenom II x4, x6, or FX-4300 for roughly the same price, which would deliver much more power in the CPU department.
i would also use ecc memory with it to ensure 24/7 uptime, after that's one of the main reason's error corection code memory was invented, reliability. also the more the better
i would also get a low end nvidia keplar gpu, once again for the low power draw
the 650 is the cheapest keplar out there at the moment all the other 600 series cards below it are still on fermi, meaning they eat energy for breakfast....
