    Also, server grade hardware is almost certainly overkill for whatever you're doing.

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with Dell either.

    Nah there's nothing wrong with Dell at all, it's just I didn't want people to jump in with just that.

    Alright though, so what, just a medium spec PC should do?

    I've handed CCS Media £25,000 recently to build some awesome servers - they did a fantastic job of finding a great solution. Check them out.

    Depends on what you're doing and how much you want to spend.

    For a home server? No need for server grade hardware. I used my old Q6600 based build as an ESXi host for months before I came to uni.

    Also, Dell or HP are always my first choice for server grade hardware

    If you are only testing something then assuming you have a decently powerful machine then you can just run a load of VMs on it, perhaps buying some more RAM if needed.
