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
Have you looked into AMD EPYC?
There are regular deals comming from china with Supermicro Motherboard/CPU/RAM deals:

A setup like this will be a power hog though.
To control it from another room you would use the web interface of whatever OS you are using eg Proxmox. To turn it on you can use Wake On Lan commands/apps on your workstation/phone.
Check out a build video for an EPYC system here:

You have to make sure the cooler you use is rated for the CPU though:

Thank you for sharing this mate, if I understand correctly this is the specs of the link you sent?
scroll a little bit down
https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-epyc-7702p
it says here:
64 cores of 128 Threads
and a lot of other things, but it is really 64 cores?? only for 1400$? if it this is crazy good i guess?
Plus, is there a way I can make it reach 128gb memory? the only available option is 64gb
