Hi guys,
I'm in the market for buying a portable, small, low power, cheap server.
Thinking something like an ARM, ~10 core @ ~2.0Ghz, ~150W server with 8-16GB of non-EEC RAM, preferably for under $1k.
I have it running off of Wifi, since I buy the server, mainly to replace my old dual core/4 threads 2,4Ghz Corei7 unit, and to save time compressing files locally, not over a network.
I don't think I'll need much more.
I have certain workloads that need to be done on my PC, and which I will do about 1 hour in a day (currently takes nearly an entire day).
On my idle time, I'd be running FAH program.
More than likely, I'll be running Linux.
I know most people use Graphics cards, but I'm looking at some sort of PC running either Linux or Windows, with a CPU with lots of cores.
So my questions are,
- Are CPU's recommended for FAH, or should I really better invest in GPUs?
- Is there anyone that can recommend some cheap servers (can be second hand, but preferably cheap new ones)?
- What kind of Linux is compatible with FAH?
