Build’s Name: JEDSERVER
Operating System/ Storage Platform: Windows Server 2012 Essentials / ESXi 5.1
CPU: Xeon E5-2620 6c/12t
Motherboard: Asus Z9PE-D16
Chassis: Supermicro 846TQ-R900B Chassis
Drives: 128GB OCZ Vertex 4(BOOT), 3x1TB WD Green, 3TB WD Green, 3TB Hitachi 7200RPM, 3TB Toshiba 7200RPM
RAM: 6x4GB Kingston ECC DDR3
Add-in Cards: LSI 9211-4i

Usage Profile: Currently powers my home domain for PC backups. I have Plex Media Server installed for streaming at home and over the internet (basically my own personal Netflix). I have a 50TB thin provision storage spaces pool setup with 3x1TB and 2x3TB drives providing disk space.
Other information…
I'm currently studying to take VMWare's VCP5 certification exam, so once in awhile I put in an ESXi 5.1 USB disk and lab some vCenter between this and some Workstation ESXi virtual nodes. I am thinking of ordering 2x extra spicy 2665's for a nice 16c/32t machine, but currently do not have the need for that much power.
I added the Supermicro 16 Pin breakout cable to run the power button and activity lights since it is not a Supermicro motherboard anymore.
