VMware - Early returns

After deciding to move forward on becoming proficient in vSphere, a new machine was needed to load ESXi 4 on. Some searching turned up an alternate hardware plan than using the vendor's HCL, which would require a second mortgage.

The Whitebox site lists hardware that, while not on the HCL, will work with ESXi:

From that, I acquired a refurbished Dell Optiplex 745 desktop box.
