Hello all,
So I would like to say I have done a fair amount of research before posting. Having said that, I am building a home rig for password recovery, I am attempting to keep costs down. I don't need to crack all the passwords all the time, only some, some of the time. I have taken some inspiration from unix-ninja and epixoip, thank you!
Now, with that out of the way, please feel free to look over said build and enlighten me if I seemed to have n00bed something up or something else might be a better fit. I saw some motherboard recommendations on the forums but it appears they were older boards and at this time are outdated or hard to come by.
Build:
ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard
Intel Core i7-6700 8M Skylake Quad-Core 3.4 GHz (I plan to use the stock fan that comes with the processor.)
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000
(2) Western Digital Black 500GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
CHENBRO RM41300-FS81 Black Steel Case
(3) Delta FFB1212EH-F00 120mm Case cooler Fans
LEPA G Series 1600W PS
(3) MSI G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 970 4GD5 OC Video Card
Once assembled, I will be using Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS, with oclHashcat and John the Ripper installed. Hard drives will be raid one configured.
Cost without shipping from Newegg is $2,359
Thanks in advance for your help!
