Introduction
So, I did post this before but had the question deleted before I could read why. This time I've elaborated it a bit and added the figures from my own research. I did also post this on serverfault but are trying to have it deleted from there since this seems to be a more appropriate place for this question. Sorry for any inconvenience, I'm just trying to get some help and this should be an interesting question for a lot of people out there.
Question
I'm planning to build a virtualization server for home usage. I'm a developer and do need some playing grounds.
The current setup is
- Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-M PRO Z77 S-1155 M-ATX IVY
- Memory: 4 x CORSAIR 8GB DDR3 VENGEANCE PC3-12800 1600MHZ CL10 (32 GB total)
- CPU: INTEL CORE I7 3770 3.4GHZ 8MB S-1155 IVY
- Harddrive 1: OCZ AGILITY 3 2.5" 90GB SSD SATA/600 MLC
- Harddrive 2: SEAGATE BARRACUDA 1TB 7200RPM SATA/600 64MB
The HD1 will contain the base OS that is Win 2K8R2, HD2 will contain the virtual machines.
This is all there will be in this box, not even a USB-keyboard will normally be attached, neither any gfx card other than the built-in. No CD/DVD.
I did find a very nice HTPC with a 250-270 watts power supply that should be perfect for this project. The question, do you think the power will be enough?
Some figures I have
- The CPU that is said to consume approx 77 W
- The segate harddrive should consume something like 8-12 W
- The OCZ SSD drive is about 1-3 W
- The motherboard should not use much unless the graphics is used, and I will almost never use it, am I wrong?
- The power consumption for the ram memory is hard to find, I figured that something like 100W is required when in full usage but I might be wrong.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
