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

Im running a Dual 2690 v4 setup , 30 ish disks , 22 ssd's and 1tb of LRDIMMS in it. ran me about 2200CAD total not including the disks.

usually sits around 260w with a 15-20% load. disks set to spin down (only ssd's active usually).

just parted it together with eBay and local stuff I could find.

it was more of an idea of cost.

100% I would go epyc

48 core epyc 7642 + motherboard. throw in some ram for another 150$ and your on your way to a really good system. tons of expansion.
