AMD Ryzen Threadripper Motherboards to be Showcased on July 25th

I can see that. If the server has enough users accessing simultaneously, the extra threads will keep things running smoothly. How many people will have access to your server? I don't know much about the subject, but I'm curious. How many users can access a 20 thread server before it slows down? Sorry about all the questions, I thought that a server can be run on much slower (and cheaper) hardware. Please elaborate.

Probably mainly as a file server with transcode duty for multiple users locally. It would also run a number of virtual machines. I'd probably want dual SSD for read / write cache and 10GbE. If it could have an internal SSD that would serve as a dedicated DAC that could be useful as well.

I was looking at some QNAP NAS units and some of them are quite attractive like the QNAP TVS-1282T3 which has 12 bays, Thunderbolt 3, 10GbE, Intel Core i7 7700 and up to 64GB of RAM. Still it costs about ~$3800 USD depending on where you buy. I've got almost everything I need for a server. All I would really need is an AMD Threadripper motherboard, processor and cooler. Maybe not even a cooler since there are indications that Threadripper might ship with a cooler. Although, I might need a PSU depending on power requirements.
