    Is there a preference when it comes to SSDs and LSI HBAs? I thought I read somewhere that Samsung SSDs don't always play nice with LSI, is that true? Is it safest to go with Intel SSDs?

    I dont think I will have that many VMs at first. Probably around 10 - 15 at first. When I start experimenting with SCCM though I will certainly have more. Maybe at that time I will go 10GbE. I have been looking on the Internet at 10GbE equipment and although the NICs arent bad the switches...

    Thanks for all the information! Monkizzle, what version of ESXi do you run on those Asus boards? Did you have to add any drivers to the ISO? I will probably end up building a separate box and use Omni OS + napp-it.

    Hi everyone, I am looking to build a home lab and could use some guidance. I will use this lab to study for different certifications, and learn about different technologies. VMWare certifications are my first goal, though I will also need the ability to experiment with Microsoft's SCCM 2012...
