Hi All,
So i took advantage of some black friday deals and got myself a whitebox to use for playing with ESXi at home. i have been using workstation for a while, but not as much as i would like, so i am combining my NAS, firewall and geek playground into one box.
Above is an image of what i think i want to build to get my home network back functional, i have an 128GB SSD for the OS's of my VM's, and the WD Reds for bulk storage. my playground will consist of anywhere between 5-15 VM's running Windows (7, Server 2008), Linux (Various)... there will not be much of a user load on here, just me playing with the lab, and serving media/documents...
so am i out to lunch here or will i do alright?
