Hi All,
By June 2016 I will be able to collect close to $3000 for my home lab. I want to have your suggestions on how I should build it.
I have planned below specs
Intel Xeon Processor 1620 V3
Compatible motherboard for the processor
RAM 128 GB
Cooler Master SMPS and Cooler Master Cabinet
SSD
I would be installing Windows 7 x64 and then run my lab in VMware Workstation
Please let me know your suggestions how you would have spent $3000 for your home lab. My main aim is to get more RAM so that I can do all the praticals.
Thanks
Vaibhav
I suggest to use the machine as a ESXi server and build your LAB on this, then you can connect to the server via another computer.
It's better than to install VMWare Workstation.
Thanks for replying Davoud,
the specifications for the LAB are fine or would you recommend a different hardware?
This configuration is fine ..
i suggest you to install esxi on the top you build your lab
