well need more information , will you be doing Vmotion, SVmotion, will your VMs be using passthrough disks ? , how many Vcpus will your VMs require, will you be using using any iscsi storage ? which version of esxi will you be using 5.5 ?

Nope no motions, it's just one esx server! Ahh for disks, I will be using couple of SSDs on the same motherboard, as mentioned its just one box, one esx, hence I don't think I am going to need hba's at the moment.

About two vCPU's each maximum I guess, some may have even just one. Yup 5.5 is the version.

Thanks.
