I would like all the gurus to guide me on this one . It's my first time building a server spec workstation , so please enlighten me if I have made mistakes.
Purpose
To build a workstation that can can be on 24/7 , opening more than 1xx tabs of chrome and still perform .
I program , develop web apps and mobile apps. So Virtualization is important , as I use docker ,android studio and virtualbox for other OS such as windows 10.
Occasionally , some light gaming if possible ( hopefully linux supports more games ) .
There are 2 LAN ports , so most probably will host another VM dedicated to openMediaVault and mount another 2TB HDD .
Inspired by - Remote Linux Workstation
OS
Xubuntu 18.04 LTS ( Making it lightweight so apps can fully utilize the RAW power of the CPUs and Rams ) devil.gif
Worrying Points
As these Xeon processors are quite old , especially the v1 which are 7 years old . Not knowing that it can last more than 5 years before it becomes obsolete and I thought about that and came out with the build 3 but that puts alot of problems for me especially when i have budget constraints.
The builds

I don't have the any benchmark for anything above, would like the inputs and insights of all gurus out there especially on the pros and cons . Suggestions on builds are greatly appreciated.
