Early plan to split a home PC and server setup
A home PC rebuild is planned within the next year, alongside a move to a long-term home. If the house does not already have enough wired access, an AV specialist may install throughout the home.
The setup is being narrowed to either a three-computer plan or a four-computer plan. The main goal is to separate a gaming and writing PC from machines used for server or related home tasks.
Cost matters, and the three-computer setup should still be expandable into a four-computer setup later. PC building experience is solid, but server work, , , and server software are still unfamiliar areas.
Key points
- A home network wiring plan is being considered before moving in.
- The choice is between starting with three computers or four computers.
- The gaming and writing PC would be separate from server-style duties.
- Keeping costs low and allowing later expansion are important goals.
- Server work, , , and server software are the weak spots.
