[QUOTE="ZeroDay, post: 728189, member: 11608"] You'll be lucky to build a half decent workstation on that budget. You'll be able to scrape together some kind of server but I wouldn't expect much from it and frustration will set in quickly trying to run multiple VM's on a $300 machine. You're going to need a fair amount of RAM to be running multiple VM's, Then there's the CPU, a good PCU. You could do it out of old second hand parts, but in the UK you're getting a half decent at very best workstation on that budget and to be honest that would be a stretch. It can be done but I'd be looking for bargains and asking friends if they have any parts you can use. It really does depend on what the server is going to be used for, but running multiple VM's is going to take plenty of RAM and CPU power for a start, then the PCU needs to be able to power it all. Good luck with it and all I can really say is spend lots of time looking for second hand bargain parts. [/QUOTE]
