Seeing as zeb snapped up some cheap ml115's recently I wonder if any of you lot have noticed some cheap servers that would do the job with esxi.

I'll start off the list with the following but if you spot a bargin stick it here and we can all be the wiser!

dell poweredge sc440 rough cost £179 ex vat (beware of dell shipping cost £60)
fujitsu-siemens econel 100 139.99 ex vat (misco)

Just thought i'd let you know of a purchase I made this week. I splashed out and bought myself a dell poweredge sc440. I bought the server with pretty much the bog standard spec, no SAS controller just normal SATA 1gig of memory and a 2.1 dual core xeon processor. Total cost was about £250 quid.

I know that a 1 gig isnt much memory but I'd thought I'd prove that it works before splashing out on more. I'm pleased to say that vmware ESXI works a treat on it without any fiddling around, you dont need any fancy SAS controllers or posh network cards it all works straight out of the box.

 

fraid you might be out of luck with that I contacted dell about the t105 (we're a dell workstation and server outfit so I've got an account manager), they said that the t105 is not compatible with vmware at all. But you never know worth a try!

 

They should be able to do Hyper-V.

I'd also be very surprised if ESX didn't run on them. (Obviously unsupported.)
