    Hi

    Just looking for some suggestions here.

    My Dell T5500 finally bit the dust yesterday afternoon... it server'ed me well but it looks like the Main board is busted.

    I was thinking on buying some 2nd had gear but I'd rather just build something myself.

    I've no idea what to buy though

    I have built my own gaming PC that was at the time (last year), very high end. It is complete overkill for what I need though in terms of a server

    I want to host dedicated gaming servers for the following: Space Engineers, Farming Simulator, Factorio, Satisfactoy, NAS Storage, Dya-DNS etc.

    I will not be using the server for gaming itself. So ideally I want a CPU with an integrated graphics, which I think rules out a lot of AMD stuff, which is preferable in my mind. (I do have a very old small Display card I could use though I suppose)

    I want a beefy enough CPU, DDR5 Ram, Case with big fans on the front and an AIO Radiator Cooler for the CPU

    I do not want RGB and no Glass.

    Cheaper the better.
