I'd love a low-power solution, because I really want to be able to play with ESXi at home and learn more about it. But there aren't any low-power servers they are giving away for free at work! Maybe I should just look into one of these websites devoted to whitebox hardware that works with ESXi. Of course, then I have to spend money!
Thanks for your input - security is a good concern. I'm still very curious about the latency of network I/O, too.
