Homebrew, I created this thread for you and the others that are having issues with the ASMB4-iKVM module: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1035550222 I managed to finally get mine working, but it was quite a pain in the rear until I blindly peformed the exact sequence of events required...

Well, I finally figured it out after wasting two days on it. I'm just posting what I did in case anyone else is searching for a resolution to this issue. I made the mistake of following the ASUS directions, which appear to be somewhat wrong. I flashed it as the guide suggested and this went...

I realize I will probably get no responses for this topic, because it's very unique, but it's worth a try. I'm about to scream at this thing. I recently purchased a Z8NA-D6 motherboard and the ASMB4-iKVM card came with it. From what I understand, other Z8NA-D6 owners have experienced a bitch of...

Can you link me to that 12gb kit?

My objective was to build a quiet ESX sandbox that can sit in my apartment without sounding like a jet turbine (HP/Dell). It also needs to be able to run 15-20 low intensity VM's. These parts are based on whitebox lists and the information I found by scouring the internet. I'm fairly certain...

Danny, you are correct about the RAID controller. Also, a hypervisor with 15-20 active VM's pretty much requires it. Great suggestions and contrast guys. Thanks so much for your help.

I wasn't sure if this thread was suited for the Virtualization forum, because this is strictly hardware. It doesn't seem like there's many hardware topics in that forum. RAID 5 or 10 is fine.

Completely open thread. I'm out of date when it comes to hardware and would like recommendations for building a home virtual server lab. 1) This is a server build for a virtual test lab environment. It will host about 15-20 VM's with different specs (linux, 2003, 2008, etc). 2) Budget is...
