Hi all

I wanted to post my ever changing lab here, its not quite in the same league as some of you guys but its ever evolving :D

Network

Cisco 2651 Gigabit Router
Cisco 2611XM Router (junk)
Dell PowerConnect 5324 (iSCSI)
NetExtreme Summit 400-48T
NetExtreme Summit 400-48T
Cisco MDS-9020 (Fibre SAN Switch)
Voltaire GridDirector 9024D
Cisco Aironet 1141N
Cisco Aironet 1142N
Cisco Aironet 1252AG

Systems

VMware ESXi 5.1 System 1

8 Core AMD FX 8350 4.0Ghz
32GB RAM
4Gbps Qlogic FC HBA
MHGH28-XTC REV X1 HTC (DDR)
1 x Intel QP Gigabit NIC
1 x Intel DP Gigabit NIC
1 x 1TB WD Black
2 x Intel 330 180GB SSD

VMware ESXi 5.1 System 2

4 Core AMD 3.2GHz CPU
10GB RAM
MHGH28-XTC REV X1 HTC (DDR)
1 x Intel DP Gigabit NIC

HP DL360 G5 - 2 x Intel 2.5GHz Quad Core Procs (L5420)
10GB RAM
1 x 146GB SAS
1 x 300GB SAS

Thats it, not much and a bit light on the system side - I want to build another 8 core AMD system - just need the motherboard and cpu, I also am on the lookout for a C6100 - this is the shopping list:

1. Voltaire 4036 QDR
2. ConnectX2-3
3. More RAM
4. 6xSSDs per server (min 500MB/s)
5. LSI RAID Controller of sorts to handle the SSDs
6. 8Gbps Fibre Switch (Brocade 300 etc)
7. Cisco 4948-E
8. UniFi AP AC (UAP-AC) and sell the Cisco Aironets (except the 1252AG maybe)
