switching to HP-CLI from Cisco is a bit of a jump tho

I used to us an R200 and an PE860 as well. But they cost too much to run 24/7
How much did you pay for running your 24/7?
Anyways I'm going to build a computer with at 500W psu. No HDDs going to use the Dell PowerVault for the datastores. Most likely I'll go with a AMD based system for my new esxi. Like you mentioned, they are pricey if you run them 24/7.
Might give the Cisco routers and switches to my cousin, he'll be needing for some studies. (only for studies, he'll give them back as soon he's finished). Also I'll be getting 2 gigabit Netgear switches for my network.

Good to hear! Have you tried to run any external packages on it?

Nothing too fancy, but exciting for me
Are those 10gbps fibre or RJ-45? I can't really tell. (not wearing my glasses)
Related to FC... Got me a 4Gbps Brocade 200e switch with 12 gbics rather cheap
Didn't take any pics with cover on... ooops
Funny detail: Fan control, it just does not care. As long there's 3 identical fans inside everything is OK.
Swapped 11krpm fans to 3krpm fans. "Yeah these will do." and switch turned on the fan control (slowing em even further).

I have a bunch of 2GB FC HBA cards at home that look like those. Are they worth anything? I only need like 2 of em, the rest are just sitting in box, maybe it's time to let someone make use of em. That and I got a McData switch in my rack I don't use too. It's FC for a SAN, not to be confused with Fiber Ethernet, though. Otherwise I'd definitely be using it for something!

Where did you guys buy your edgerouters from?
Ubnt.ca here in Canada. I hear Microcom in the US is a good one as well.
Got mine from ubnt.ca as well, not sure what their shipping to the US is like. My shipping apparently got bumped to to overnight for free, so mine should be in tomorrow

Going to build my own ESXi Server (Rack servers are really annoying)

Looks like you have created the perfect storm of fail.
Also the two fans over lapping! what's with that lol
I use a Gigabyte 990FX board for one of my ESXi boxes, works perfectly but I would not recommend it to anyone! If this is your first ESXi box, I would go back to step 1 and look for some easier to use hardware.

Right? That's how they came from the factory.. It's an antec case.
The one on the back pulls in. And the side is push out.. Thing runs bone cold anyways. But wooo stupid case design..
Hope it's as good as pFSense. Was looking at one of these too, but doesn't really do anything more than pFSense?
I am attracted to it cause it means I can pull a SFF PC out of my rack, and replace it with a much smaller unit. Perhaps that is the primary benefit of this unit!
