Build’s Name: New VM Host
Operating System/ Storage Platform: ESXI 6.0
CPU: ?
Motherboard: ?
Chassis: SUPERMICRO SuperChassis CSE-512L-200B Black 1U Rackmount Server Case 200W, SUPERMICRO SuperChassis CSE-512L-200B Black 1U Rackmount Server Case 200W - Newegg.com
Drives: USB Stick? SATA DOM?
RAM: > 32GB ?
Add-in Cards: 10G would be nice, I have a PCIe 10G that I can reuse
Power Supply: ?
Other Bits: ?
Usage Profile: VM Host to replace aging Dell T110 II 1230 V2/32GB
Other information: Ideally it would fit the chassis and fit my rack (24U Middle Atlantic shallower depth). I do not have a budget, but I do not want to spend a gazillion dollars and I do not want it to be an overkill to run 10-12 VMs (mostly Linux, a few FreeBSD and 2 Windows 7 RDP targets). I think something like 64G with a decent processor in that case would be awesome.
What can you think of I should get?
