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

only for 1400$

I would say that's pretty costly actually for a single CPU board, my full build was 1200$ CAD in July.

Check this vendor on Ebay for board : https://www.ebay.ca/str/tugm4470

It's where I got my Supermicro H11DSi (mind you it's the late 2017 model but not much new in between 2017 and 2019), fast shipping, pretty good price and he has a mix of ready to go combo or just parts if you need to.

I lean more on the Epyc side for the CPUs over Xeon but both are good.
