VMWare server

[snowbhoy]

Guys,

Looking to build myself a box to be sued as a VMWare server. Really just after reasonable proc and a decent amount of memory for as little outlay as possible.

Any suggestions - should I try build myself or buy a system from somewhere else (Old stock or something)?

Cheers.

Looking to run a couple of instances of cisco call manager, citrix server, maybe a dc, and room for one or two more randoms.

Guys,

What about this spec - bear in mind it's purely for my home use and playing around with callmanager and setting up a citrix server - trying to keep costs minimal.
