Can I use a server as my home computer?

[conehed]

just wondering if anyone knows if I can fit a sound card into one of these..?

if theres room, and a slot for it, yes.

i would keep it also, i'd be wetting my pants if i got hold of that, especially if you can fit a good GPU in it, it would blow most games apart

You could send it to me . But really, stick in a good GPU and a hard drive or two and your all set.

just wondering, where on earth did you get that system from?

its going to be loud so you might want to invest in some good quiet fans to cool it if its going to go in your room

Sorry guys, this is a pizza box server. Trying to fit in a half way decent card is not going to work

Sun Fire X2200 M2 Server

then I advise you to sell it and build a proper gaming box!

has a PCIE 16x Riser card, in which case you'd be able to at least throw in a single slot Radeon 4650/4670 or Geforce 9500GT/9600GT. Providing the PSU has enough Amps for it.

but even with that said, you'd probably be better off selling it and building up a more traditional home consumer system, with a single CPU, even if its a Quad core. with the money made from selling it.

If you can add Single slot PCIE Fibre Channel Host adapters or Network cards or whatever as options in that particular system and case, it Can be done with a single slot video card

win xp pro would work

I try on dell poweredge before it show 2 cpu and 3.5 gb rams.


Before you do. Do you have enough $ for electric bills they would add about $20 per months if it turn on 24/7

They are way powerful than my laptop it so fast you could open firefox under 2 sec vs normal computer 3-4 sec. But they kind noisey due fans spin full speed.
