Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here.

Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
If you're looking for a FE, you can camp on the NVidia store. Their 1080Ti's are periodically in stock. They're showing a 3-4 week lead time, but they're going for $699 .

You are trying to install from the usb stick? Have you tried a CDROM, (if you have one)
Can you try using another computer to do the installation to the hard drive and then move it to the system you want to use as a server?
This will tell you if you having problems running Esxi on the...
At first I was concerned that a thread on HH about action figures was running 5 pages. I'm relieved to see that a lot of the posts are about playing video games:o
