Considering building a rack server in phases, dropping a little more money on a motherboard than I could buying a complete server just to get it started. Over time I can add case, ram, gpu, etc etc. basically pulling hardware in over time instead of all at once.
Anyone else done this? Is it recommended, or better to just go with one already built?
The rationale is
- More money to spend on better individual components over time
- I just like the torture of building things myself
- I don’t care that much if the rack is in pieces for a while as I have a stable environment for it to live in while it comes together
- Fun project to learn
