First server: Buying hardware in a developing country

Jump

  • Thanks for being the only one here that is actually commenting on hardware choices, everyone else is trying to convince me to try stuff I already tried haha

    I might just splurge and get one of those drives afterall, hopefully they go on sale at some point

  • Not an option, a friend sent me a box with a few snacks and even that got taxed

  • List instead of array, dict instead on object (tho it also has objects)

  • Will stream over the internet and being in a developing country a lot of devices can't even handle h265 so los of transcoding. Will also host foundryVTT and maybe some game servers

  • I live in a developing country, when libraries/business and other places get rid of hardware its because its literally useless, Im talking single core 32bit cpus useless. I made this thread so I hopefully wont make any mistakes hahaha

  • No need to think, I mention in another comment that we have 50% tariff on all imported stuff. And I'm not buying 10 year old stuff for that price lol

  • Yeah, might do just that then, thanks

  • What would be some options for NAS drives? The ones I found were quite expensive to the point I think it would be cheaper to just replace damaged drives and run them in RAID. Was also thinking about using a M.2 drive to run programs on and HDDs for file storage, I wonder how beneficial and how hard it is to do that

  • yeah, dont think the dedicated GPU will be necessary, most posts Ive seen clain that intel's igpu can handle multiple 4k streams, tho I could try to find a cpu with the 770 instead of the 730? Not sure how much of a diff it would make tho

  • Its my first server but not my first pc, so I know I can use a 700W PSU with no issue except most of them have the highest efficiency at around 50% so less potent PSU would be ideal in the long run, if not only to save money on electricity bills but also for the enviroment

  • a laptop would extremely limiting as far as storage goes, I prefer not having to add a NAS later. Thanks for the info tho

  • Eh, sadly not an option otherwise I wouldve gone for it right away, most of my family would never buy desktop pc hardware for anything

  • Government started taxing imports by 50% a few years back, buying from other countries is expensive and means I get no warranty, worst of both worlds sadly

    • Relive the days of unhinged GPU box artwork — new book catalogs 300 retail boxes with both horrors and delights

  • Maaan I really liked that stupid shit, lowkey miss it. Bring weird/sexy gpu boxes back!

  • My biggest problem with the first game is the difficulty curve. I think it peaked at the second zone if I'm not mistaken, then it goes up and down like crazy, last boss was a joke for example. Love the game tho, hope they can fix that for the sequel
