Long time lurker, potential first time thread starter. Here is my build. I am running esxi 5.5 on a ga-7pesh3 with donk's unlocker which allows for mac guests to be run on PC hardware (with GPU passthrough!!). This is all backed by a ZFS-powered NFS datastore (omniOS VM + nappit + onboard SAS2008 IT mode pci-passthrough). This started as just a windows + mac gpu passthrough rig and has slowly sprawled throughout my entire house. I am currently running a dual monitor win 8.1 workstation VM, Mavericks OSX dev VM, SteamOS arcade VM, and a win10 HTPC VM (Plex HT) all with individual GPUs passed through. I just realized how much shit i chained off one mini-DP port and had to document it. Yes, the dual apple cinema displays all work great from 100 feet away running through all the adapters with no relics or signal degradation. The DVI KVM Matrix allows me to mix and match any input to any output on my cinema displays. It comes with a cat-5 remote (not pictured) that allows me to select a source per monitor. The SnapX allows me to change my secondary monitor over to a local macbook laptop if needed. _Gea should get a real kick out of this one =)
