Hi folks,
I'm using actual and HPN54L as my Home Server with WHS 2011 (build the system 3 years ago and should go now to my parents). And i want something more powerful to play with. :)
The following hardware should be used:
What I want to do:
-> I want to use a 16 GiB USB-Stick for the ESXi Host. Use the 512 GiB SSD for my Server-VMs and the 2 TiB Seagate for some Storage for the VMs (Webspace, Apps, etc.). All pluged in the Mainboard. The 5 x 3 TiB WD-Red-Drives i would connect over the M1015 via PCIE-Passthough to the FreeNAS-VM. I would use a Raidz1 (+external Backup once a month to USB3 drive). My Main-"Problem" is the RAM, i guess (cap. at 16 GiB on ITX).
Servers i want to run:
What is important to me, is that i reach/utilization the 1Gbit/s Network-Connection (~100MB/s) to my Computer (sure via Ehternet). Actual it works great with my HPN54L (WHS 2011) with 4 GiB of RAM. I want no deterioration. So lets see what you guys think. Advice & Feedback needed :o

The following hardware should be used:
- Fractal Design Node 304
- Corsair RM Series RM450 450W (Gold PSU - should be quote what's important to me)
- Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3, 4x 3.40GHz
- ASRock Rack E3C226D2I (90-SXG180-A0UAYZ)
- Kingston ValueRAM DIMM 16 GiB (2x 8 GiB), DDR3-1600, CL11, ECC
- 1 x 3 TiB WD RED + 1 x 512GiB SSD

Servers i want to run:
- FreeNAS (For Filestorage) - 8 GiB RAM (at max. less would be great). :(
- Webserver (MySQL, Apache, PHP (As a test environment - only run's if needed) - 2 GiB RAM
- Game Server - ArmA3/DCS (aonly run's if needed) - 4 GiB RAM
- Video-Render-Server (MeGUI@Windows 7) - (only run's if needed) - 4 GiB RAM
- OwnCloud-Server (should be enough i think - actual i use a RasPI and works great) - 2 GiB
