I have need to take a small server for an event. The server needs to be able to fix in my carry on bag when I fly. I will need 4 cores, 16 gab ram, 160+gb ssd and run vmware esxi. What are my options?

Do we have to guess how big your carry-on is? :p
Assuming typical U.S. Limits (22" x 14" x 9" or 56 x 35 x 23 cm)

Laptops still do that...and then some! (VMware Workstation or Hyper-V client)

Otherwise.... if it's a "box" you want:
Intel NUCs.....Mac Mini.....Gigabyte Brix ......
DIY based on small mITX cases like the M350 or
Supermicro's SC101 series cases.

Heck...you could get a rackmount Supermicro 1u 504-203b in a carry-on.
Not sure you'd want to ;)
