I'd like to add a second node for HA for my ESXI host. This is mainly for network availability while the primary node is down.
So I'd like to keep the power consumption extremely low for this server. I was initially researching on a fully ready to go R710 that can be had for under 200 bucks used on ebay, but the problem with this server is the fan noise. R720 and R810 though the fan is much quiter but higher in price and high power consumption.
Hence I am looking at you to help me identify hardware, that is low on noise and low in power consumption.
Should I go for building the server from the scratch, or pick up on of the dell's or ibm servers as mentioned above. If so what, please guide.
