I want to set up something for an esxi server. This is just going to be a toy for me to play around with, nothing mission critical at all. Being that it's just going to be a toy I'd like to do it as cheap as possible. I know a lot of guys here on the forum recommend used servers off ebay and I've been looking in that direction but the choices can be a bit overwhelming for someone not in the biz. What I definitely want is something with IPMI. I'd like it to be fairly quiet as well since it will be located in living space. My main use case is going to be just playing around and experimenting with different OS and projects and of course learining esxi but primarily I want to be able to spin up an XP VM for some old retro gaming using an old video card I have laying around without having to put together a whole system just for that.
Any suggestions you have as well as links to any suggested hardware would be helpful.
