Ultra Low Power 1U ESXi Home Server

[ghostsurfer]

Hello,

 

i am looking for a new Home Server as i recently bought a Supermicro Board for my PfSense and this rocks!

 

What i currently have:

- ESXi 6.5 running on a 4Gen i5 NUC

- 16GB RAM

- separate NIC via mSATA

- Diskspace inside only for loggings. Not for VMs!

- Datastore for ESXi is on a Synology RS214 via NFS (i want to stick to that)

 

What i miss:

- Rackmount Solution (max depth about 10")

- Temperature Monitoring in ESXi

 

The performance of my NUC is "okay". The power consumption is awesome.

 

Any ideas how i can build a System to fulfill my "wish list"?

Thank you!!
