Should anybody be interested in that case, I can highly recommend swapping out the stock 120mm fan for something better (like an Arctic F12). Since it's 4U in height it will easily fit a standard ATX PSU and many small-ish CPU coolers. The case is pretty oversized, but it's one of the cheapest rackmount-cases available in Germany. I'll eventually upgrade to a 10th Gen Intel system in the future.
I can easily load 64+ instances of all the standard plugins like CLA, API, eMo etc. The performance isn't great, as expected from an old dual-core CPU. Long time no see I've finally put together a server with the old stuff I had lying around from back when I started with the whole DIY Soundgrid obsession. Fun fact, in the Intel press release in 2013 (still on their site but hard to find) they stated that when Waves reached out to Intel for hardware solutions when developing Soundgrid, they boasted Xeons and the 210iNIC.look at what Waves uses. It even beats my i7, 8700 custom rack build. I over clocked it to 3.9Ghz, even better. An old HP Proliant D元80 G5 with dual Xeon quad-core E5450 on 3Ghz (8 cores no hyperthreading) 16GB ram and a pcie Intel 210i Nic, can't handle a couple of plugins and disconnects due to cpu spikes, while a single X5675 6 core/12ht Xeon with Realtek 8111series Nic, 8GB ram, underclocked on 3Ghz (did it for testing) runs way more plugins. I got the server running on many pc's now only using those rules. You need an Intel chipset, good cpu (depending on how many or cpu hungry plugins you run),at least 4GB Ram (8 preferred and more did not show better results with most testers) And an Intel or supported Realtek NIC. I will keep this updated as soon as possible.I looked at the github page. Thanks for any advice and looking forward to sharing my finished setup soon.
Can I use a off the shelf interface? Ideally something that's rack mountable but not a deal breaker if it isn't. Output wise would be the same as input so thinking like a 8x8? What's everyone using for io when not interfacing directly with a DAW/Console with a wsg card in. Last step of the process is finding IO that's best suited for my use case, I've got a mono line (from a mic channel strip) and 2-3 stereo line pairs that I'd like to do some processing on. One for waves server, one to handle studiorack/soundgrid studio and then a little util machine for miscellaneous tasks that's unique to the setup (might swop this out for a hp microserver if I can find a nice deal secondhand). I can pick up lenovo m900 tiny's for cheap here by me and currently looking at getting like 3 of them. Nothing overly complex (at least not yet). I'll be using it in a more 'live' setting to provide me with some processing on a vocal channel and a handful of stereo feeds. Hi all, first off thanks for the effort put into this thread and the level of detail provided by all of the contributors has convinced me to give it a try.
