Great machine that supports esxi. Most do not have a Dell PERC raid setup, so you may have to add a card or look for alternatives if you need RAID. Nice 1U design that isn't too loud and has plenty of opportunities to expand on RAM. Pair this with an Ikea Lack table and you're on your way to a good rank mounted home lab.

I kept getting the pink screen of death. Also looks like VMware took this model off of the HCL.

Despite being overkill, I ordered this system for my rack for the role of pfSense Firewall, Router, AV and Caching system. I wanted to use all four drives in a RAID (5) configuration, but the controller it comes with is software RAID, and pfSense saw right through it. With the addition of a 3ware LSI 9650SE, I was able to build the array, and install pfSense. The fans take a while longer to spin down from LOUD, than in my other systems in the rack, but once they do the volume is the same as the other systems. My model came with two X5650 hexa-core CPU's and 32GB RAM.
