I wouldn't keep using ESXi since it's been discontinued unless the community has a way to update it to fix all the back door bugs and problems it's got after VMware was Acquired last year and Broadcom discontinued it and won't be updating 8.0.1
That Dell machine is about 9 years old? Interesting build, but a modern 6-core Ryzen and modern nvme SSD will be much, much faster. And for not much money .
It will have 20 cores eventually. Plus this can hold more drives with less effort than a custom build. Also can take more memory. Also way more PCIe lanes.
Brilliant! You are a true innovator 👍 And... on another project, the boys will enjoy their cat tv again 😺😺 It might take Smokey's mind off of food! 😋👏
@@DHuhnCatMom yeah really hoping they will enjoy the perks of it as well. 😻

Yeah it is a dilemma. Unfortunately for now I got to use the tools I have and know how to use.

@@computersales A modern PC has one ultra-fast nvme SSD drive, and maybe one 15 or 20 *terabyte* hard drive. A lot has changed in 9 years! 😄
@@DerekDavis213 I'm using this as a server not a desktop so your points are valid but not for my use case.
