system to run demanding VMs

[corylus]

Hi folks,

I want a system to run a few (three or four) VMs. It won’t be used for graphics intensive work or playing games. I do have a couple VMs that need plenty of RAM (8gb plus) and probably at least 4 cores each (or two multi-threaded, at least). Others are less demanding. I'll probably use ESXi

I'm looking at something like this:

I wouldn't need the graphics card (it probably won't have a screen plugged in most of the time and the system has integrated graphics) but I can't seem to deselect it.
I might drop back to 16gb (that's all that Asus say the m/b supports).

I'd prefer a flatter case but I can't see one that's 3xs approved.

Any thoughts anyone?

If you're looking for a flatter case have you considered this: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/fract...se-with-usb-30

It's not currently listed on any of our online configurators, but would be ideal for hosting your VM system.

If you're interested, one of our sales advisors can happily switch it in the system you listed and give you an updated quote.

Thanks for that, I have been looking at cases and will be in touch
