I’m planning on installing VMware ESXi on here and this will pretty much replace my current server at home (which is over 4 years old so this will be a pretty big upgrade for me) which I’m using as a Domain Controller/DNS/DHCP/Print Server/Apache Web Server/File Server/Mail Server.

You won’t see this model in the VMware ESXi HCL but according to some posts in the VMware Forums it should work fine.

Here are the specs for my order which came out to $388:

PowerEdge SC440

  • Dual Core Intel Xeon 3040, 2MB Cache, 1.86GHz (+$100)
  • 4GB DDR2 667MHz (4×1GB) RAM (+$69)
  • No OS
  • Onboard SATA Controller (4 connectors)
  • 1 x 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3Gbps 3.5in Hard Drive(+$20)
  • 48x CD-ROM Drive
  • Comes with 1Yr Basic Hardware Warranty

This deal expires tonight.
