Hi all,
I am looking to build a server that will run around 3-6 VM's using ESXi. I know some people will suggest the N40L but I'm not really a fan of them and would rather the flexibility of a custom build.
These are the services I am looking to have running:
My budget is around £300-£400 and I am looking to have the storage drives running in RAID. I know it will be hard but the lowest power consumption possible would also be beneficial. What parts would you guys suggest?
Thanks
