So I saw there's a media box thread, and I wanted to open one about HomeLabs, and our server setups at home.
I used to have one before I moved 4 years ago and now I want to setup one again. Was looking at used poweredges and stuff, but realized that I want something in a small form factor.
So I'm thinking of setting up a ESXi server, a VM with FreeNAS, and others for playing around (I'm a security engineer) so say Active Directory, a VM for Metasploit, etc
So was thinking of this:

Thoughts? I want something small, not rackable, yet still powerful enough to run several VMs.
