I am looking for a computer to use as a server,and I got some offers within my budget.Wich one you think is the best for runing multiple seo tools at a time(scrapebox,amr,magicsubmitter etc...)

around 280$

  • procesor
    link_track.php
    : AMD Phenom X3 8650
  • Video Card: Leadtek GeForce 9600GT 512MB GDDR3
  • Motherboard: ASUS M3N78-EH
  • RAM: 4 GB DDR2
  • hdd
    link_track.php
    : WD 500GB


Tower Dell PowerEdge 2600
CPU: 2x Xeon Dual Core 2.8Ghz
RAM: 5Gb DDRAM
hdd
link_track.php
: 3x 36Gb Fujitsu Limited MAN3367MC SCSI
This one is about 350$

The price isn't important,but I want to hear your input :)

First one. Definitely.

Don't be tricked into the Xeon CPU on the second one. It's an older version ( ~2004 I think ).Old hardware ( even if it's a true server ) can cause you pain in the long run. If something will fail, the price to replace them is higher than on the first option.( RAM and Disk for example )

Also, second one is overpriced IMHO. I've seen servers like that on ebay go ~200$
 
Take 200$ more in your hand and make a real monster of machine, besides that a server is often to loud, you can also run with a good Desktop.

I built my old Server and now Desktop with 580$.

AMD Phantom X6 = 100$
Tower and goodies = 100$
Board = 70$
16 GB RAM = 80$
HDD = 100$
Power Supply = 80$
Some utilities = 50$

And your ready to go :)
 
Before you spend $$, study http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ FIRST to pick the right CPU.

I prefer Intel i7 CPUs for high-end performance as well as cost-effective. In other words, most bang for the buck.

How well you think the first one can handle Scrapebox and AMR at the same time?

If you really dont have any money for a little bit more

buy number 1: ARM has the same processor socket for all their CPUs, so you could change it after you made more money.
 
What is your budget? I think the first thing you should set is your budget.

From the above two options I would pick the first one. But as I whole I won't go with either of them. I really like necro's configuration and you should definitely consider on that one.

Thanks bud,

but the config could have been cheaper if i didnt wanted some specific changes.

The whole setup could've been done with only 400$ at max.
 
A new one just got into the game:
Intel Core2 QUAD Q6600 2400, 4GB RAM

This one sells for less then 270$

Dont do it,

beside the sickness of intel every semester changing their sockets you get more with an amd.

Also this setup seems quite old...
 
I must have had more than 20 computers by now and my newest is a serious mean machine, but a Dell that I have is probably the most impressive PC I have ever bought; it is more than 2 years old and the model is probably even older, but it has never let me down and I run Xrumer, AMD, SB, and other programs with zero problems, sometimes 3-4 of them at the same time. Considering your budget, I would say go with the Dell

Hey,

i got 6 certificates when it comes to dell computers, and now after 3 years of supporting these computers. I totally want to kill their whole support team.

Great Computers, cheap renewable parts and worst support ever! PERIOD!
 
I got the first one with AMD Phenom :D
The problem was that I didn't had time to look for a lot of options or build my own server,i had to get it in less then 24h :D
