what happens when you find a Dell R 410 server on Craigslist for $50
will you turn it into a gaming machine that's right even quiet enough to sit
right next to your monitor so stick around and see how the story unfolds
please
now achieving gaming on a proprietary server isn't as easy as I thought it would be I thought it
would just be putting in some more powerful XEONS and some power and some ddr3 but it was way more
than that and there's really no tutorial anywhere that I found to show us how to do this so it's
just a little bit of hit and miss and messing with bios and cutting up the power supply and a little
bit of this okay for parts first of all I was waiting for the power supply to come in through
the mail I picked up from Central Valley computer parts on eBay a pair of X 5 6 6 7 V on that turbo
at 3.46 and for the price of $34 that pair will give me 8 cores and 16 threads now at this point
I already received my power supply and put it in and when I fired it up the sound was just very
unbearable time demotic keep in mind messing with power supplies can be dangerous as they can still
contain voltage inside and unless you discharge them when you don't have a standard ATX make one
out of part you might have laying around your house finally power for the fans and power for
the harddrive and peripherals and it should be nice and cool now yeah I'm in swear splicing
101 and what the the Dell fan connectors uh just wasn't no go so I went this route our seventeen
dollar fan did not disappoint they were easier to install than I thought I just took the C
clamp off the bottom of the passive he think and attached it to these and worked out just fine you
you
Oh
