Hi all - how about using the PC Part Picker website to share build ideas?
I'm trying to get a sense of what hardware gets what performance and I realize that I'm spending a lot of time looking at parts lists and managing them.
I found a website a few years ago that helps you compare PC builds: PC Partpicker. You might like to try it.
So, for example, here's the start of Wasim Ahmed's "entry-level proxmox server" spec http://pcpartpicker.com/user/mrjcleaver/saved/ff3mP6 , per his book Mastering Proxmox.
And here's a server I built in 2008: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/mrjcleaver/saved/Qp7hP6
PC Partpicker will save your builds for you, and allow them to take comments:
So, I don't know of a better site, but perhaps this can be a way for the Proxmox community to share builds?
(The site makes money by recommending where you might buy those parts - I have no affiliation with them).
If this is something the leaders of this forum find valuable then we should add using this service as a recommendation on the wiki.
It's a much better way to share builds than is text.
Regards,
Martin.
