HP Microserver with multiple VM's

[Fleety]

I'm looking at building a mini server for home use and these little boxes seem to tick all the boxes im just wondering if ill be asking too much of it.

The idea is to have it running 2k8 with hyper V. The host OS will also be a DC

For now the only VM's i can see it running 24hr are a win7vm for remote access/vpn diag while at work and then another VM running TS and a minecraft server.

In addition to this it will then also be used for hosting a couple more win7 vm's and 2k8 server vm's for testing and exam purposes as and when needed.

spec wise the microserver will have 8gb memory and initially 2x2tb drives.

How well do these boxes cope with multiple VM's?

Any feedback from people with one of these boxes would be great.

I did look at the ml110 was just a little worried on the size/noise/power usage as it will be left on 24/7. The new acer ac100 spec seems quite interesting, no release date yet.

Thanks for the replies. The size of the ML110 is a little too big for where it needs to go. I'll give a microserver a go and see how it stands up. Worst that can happen is that it replaces my Qnap NAS.
