Hello there,
First of all, this is a great forum with so many experts! I stumbled upon it while looking for some Hardware Specs.
I am planing to get a new PC for a VMware Lab purpose. Below is the info about it:
Approximate Purchase Date: This week
Budget Range: Less than 1000 USD
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Making a VMware vSphere Lab (vCenter Server and 2x or 3x ESXi servers over Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 ? as the master OS and VMware Workstation. Or over ESXi itself as the master OS (no need for VMware Workstation or Windows).
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: None
Country of Origin: Saudi Arabia
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Quiet PC, good Power Supply, good case, 2x Additional Network Cards (PCI?).
I need:
An Intel CPU with many cores and hyperthreading support
A Good Motherboard
16 GB RAM (4 x 4 GB)
Fast storage (no preferences)
2x Additional NICs
I do not need:
Gaming graphic card
Special sound card
I am grateful for any advice on this!
Many thanks!
