Baremetal server build for EVE-NG Pro

Post by martinmbne » Thu Sep 03, 2020 1:28 pm

Hi folks,

Note: I am not certain this is the correct forum to ask about a server build for EVE-NG Pro - if not, feel free to move it to where it should be.

I'm looking for thoughts on a build I'm putting together specifically to run EVE-NG Pro Baremetal. This is to support my CCIE Security studies.

Please can you let me know your thoughts on this spec for this use case?
  • CPUs: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2660v4 (14-core, 28 threads each)
  • Motherboard: Asus Z10PE-D16 WS
  • CPU Cooling: 2x Noctua NH-D9DX i4
  • RAM: 4x Samsung M393A4K40CB2-CTD (32GB DDR4 DIMMs - brand is tbc, could go 8x 16GB instead)
  • PCi-E Storage Adapter: Asus Hyper M.2 X16 Gen-4 (I'm aware the Motherboard only has Gen 3 capabilities)
  • Case: Fractal Design Series 7 XL
  • Storage 1: 4x Samsung 970 EVO M.2 1GB (RAID 1 or 10)
  • Storage 2: 4x Samsung 860 EVO SATA 2GB (RAID 10)
  • PSU: Corsair AX1000 (or similar)
