[X2Go-User] Server hardware, memory

[Robert Dinse]

      Build them.  I put together a i7-6850 based system with 128GB of RAM,
5 4gb drives arranged as a boot drive plus a RAID 10 array, for around $3k,
based on an Asus X99A motherboard and with adequate cooling I am able to
clock all six cores at 4.3 Ghz completely stable and almost at room temp.
