vm esxi4 home users - what hardware

Hi,
I know this is not specific Astaro question. I am trying to build a vm esxi4 server. What hardware did you use and how did you justify the cost?
I have borrowed 4 port NIC from work to see if I can get the hardware to work. The standard motherboard disk controller and raid controller are not acceptable.

I tried esxi first, but that doesn't usually seem to work with end user hardware - you'd probably need a real raid controller and so on.

So I switched to xenserver, which does support more hardware.

Justifying the cost ... I need a home server anyway, might as well run more than one machine on it.

Hi folks,
thank you for that info, it was a lot more than I could find searching the web.

Looks like I am trying to use the wrong motherboard.

I will have to look at what other motherboards I have installed and re-arrange some systems.
