Hi, welcome to the communities,

ESXi won't just install on any home user hardware.

You need to make sure to use hardware that's listed as certified under VMware Compatibility Guide: System Search

There is some cheaper home user hardware that will work but is not listed in the guide though. You should google for "ESXi 5.1 homelab". It will return quite a few blogs where people built custom homelabservers and mention the parts that work.
