I need to build a server to my my virtual machines to, I run a lot of VMs which they use a lot of CPU and memory, for some heavy machine learning sometimes my pc gets slow down and i want to solve this issue by building a home server, not sure if you guys think this is a good idea or no

- My virtual machines run python selenium codes using multi threading, I heard this info is important as there are a lot of CPUs which are made for this, I am not sure which ones

- I need at least 30-50 CPU cores and 64gb-128gb memory

Is this achievable with a budget of 2000$?

​

Some other questions I had in mind, such a server is going to be noisy? if I placed in it another room is it possible to control it remotly without cables?

If I missed any info please point them out I would love to add more details, thank you

    I’m fairly curious as why you need “30-50” CPU cores and … 64-128 GB RAM and to think about what you actually need before making decisions.

    I run a “lot” of VMs as well, in fact, I naively migrated a bunch of other smaller servers onto this one because it’s OP!!!
    My main compute server is an HPE Gen 10 with 80 cores and 128 GB RAM and … I max out with “most”, if not all of my VMs on at once around 10 to 15% until it crashes because I’m out of RAM by a doodoo ton.

    50 cores sounds pretty overkill for 128 RAM, in my humble-pie opinion.

      I have 3 VM and around 85 dockers and the 32gb of ram are not enough for the 4 core cpu I have, i7 7700, ram is always over 90% usage
