I like Super Micro's pricing, but they are always hot and noisy.

You are saying HP doesn't support like Dell?
I can believe that.

In my opinion, check out the firmware / support polices for HP vs Dell, before
you make a decision on what hardware to purchase.

I just pickup off lease HP's on Ebay, lots of ram processors and
disk... usually don't pay more than $500-800 for them. Gen 7 and 8's.
Lots of reputable sellers.
Also, Checkout PROXMOX. It's a pretty cool virtualization platform
with a community edition that you hack around to get the latest
version. I find it very easy... you can take VMDK files and convert
them and spin up a new instance of anything easily.

I'm going to need to bring online a couple new servers (OS Instances) in
the next month or 2. They could probably be housed inside a single
physical machine as VM's. It's been a while since I've had to pickup
new server hardware. What's a good spec now for a machine to do VM's.
Are NAS prices cheap enough now that you'd go with external storage, or
just have a single physical machine with internal HDD's. Hardware NAS,
or another machine running linux and ZFS? With external Storage, does
it all have to be 10G networking to prevent bottlenecks? About 6 years
ago I put in a single standalone server running VMWare, but it's out of
resources to add new VM's to it.
It looks like Newegg has lots of Refurb Dell and HP servers (with no
HDD's) for cheap. DL380G5 ~$100. I'd like to stay in the $2k-$3k range
for this project. Or is hosting your own hardware not even worth it
anymore? Just go get a server from 1and1 for $5/mo setup a VPN back to
the network and be done?
