I built this ESXi server in 2011 after reading about the idea on this site. I no longer need to run multiple VMs and have decided it's time to let her go. Here are the specs.
Case: Corsair Vengeance Series Military Green C70 Mid Tower Computer Case
Case 2 (if you want it, it's yours): NORCO RPC-450B Black 4U Rackmount Server Case
Motherboard: Supermicro X8ST3-F (review here)
CPU: Intel Xeon L5630
CPU Fan: ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2, CPU Cooler - Intel & AMD, Multi-Directional Mount, 92mm PWM Fan
HDD: 6 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB
HDD Case: Thermaltake 5.25" 4-Bay 2.5 SATA/SAS
Memory: 6 x 4GB DDR3-1333 ECC
Power Supply: CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 CMPSU-430CX 430W
Case Fans: 3 x Gelid Solutions 120mm Case Fan with Intelligent PWM Control FN-PX12-15
I think that covers all the components I can remember. It is currently running ESXi 6 off of a usb thumb drive on one of the two internal usb ports on the motherboard.
Honestly, I spent a lot of money on this when I built it. I have no idea what it is worth but I'd like to get $800 out of it so that is what I'm asking. I trust and respect the people on this forum as you've all helped me over the years in building this by your posts. If you all feel this is asking too much then I'm open to reasonable offers.
Here are various pictures. EDIT: Pictures don't seem to be working so this is a link to an album of pictures.
