Subject:        recommendations on home server



I’m in need of a decent home server to run ESX-I to run SBS, W7 and some 
other test VM’s.  My budget is preferably around $500-$1k.  Looking for 
lots of processing power but low powered (if possible), RAID on the 
drives, decent amount of ram.  Don’t know where to start….can someone 
recommend something?
