WTB Server Combo, Preferably mATX Motherboard, CPU, RAM, Intel/vmware supported LAN

WTB Server Combo (MB/CPU/RAM)
  • VMware ESXI 6 HCL Gigabit LAN (or at the very least Intel LAN known to work)
  • CPU with at least 2 cores, with Virtualization supported: Intel VT/AMD-V
  • ATX, mATX, mITX Motherboard
  • 16GB+ DDR3 RAM, ECC wanted but required
  • 4+ SATA ports
To be used for VMware ESXI 6 free, 2 VM Centos7 minimal servers (backup/samba), perhaps something else in future.
------------

New build idea is:
  • Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3-1600 UDIMM = CT5204037 = CT2KIT102464BA160B, Amazon, $57
  • Supermicro A1SAM-2550F, uATX Quad core Avoton C2550, Newegg, $259
Total $319


WTB less expensive used solution, what do you have?
I'm flexible and looking for reliability at a good value. Say roughly Xeon E3 v1 class or better. DDR3 ECC ideal.
