I run a mixture of kit, briefly as follows:

2 x Intel Atom D525 running Citrix Xenserver (free version) with shared storage via DRBD

2. x Core i3 running Centos 6.3, KVM and Cluster suite with shared storage via DRBD

1 x Celeron 1Ghz laptop with 1GB RAM running Fedora 18 xfce destop (runs very well for me)

My cobbler server is a KVM guest with one virtual CPU and 512MB RAM. It has worked perfectly fine for me when building guests with cobbler / koan.

Other services I run virtualised are postfix, DNS, NTP, apache, bacula, squid. I tend to run a service in it's own guest OS (Centos 6).

My home network is GB with a Belkin wireless router.

Hi
I can't really comment in detail about hardware. For most stuff ram is probably better to have than CPU in terms of virtualization and fast storage and/or more or at least one controller card for disks.

I run ESXi 5 and intend to update it to 5.1 which should give me the new web based admin. Not sure if that is part of esxi. I run all my VMs on two networks. A private network interconnect between the machines and a "management" network that allows me to be able to ssh to the boxes that is connected to a network card and my home router which also does the dhcp.

My pico cent's worth.

    I have finally moved to a bigger place. Now I finally have some
    space to setup a home test lab for testing various cobbler related
    ideas.  Currently, my new place has AT&T Uverse Internet service,
    a 2Wire 3600HGV Router, I have also got a few notebooks and
    netbooks as my first set of test hardware. Nearly all of them run
    Linux (CentOS, SL, Ubuntu, and Fedora), only one runs Windows
    XP/Home SP3.

    I am sure that I am not the only who want to have a home-based
    test lab :-)  For these who have gone down this route, do you mind
    sharing a bit of your setup?  I am most interested in getting some
    cost-effective hardware for my own "small lab".  I have got a few
    notebooks.  Very proficient in RHEL, Fedora, Ubuntu, and KVM.
