My Hyper-V server as seen from VMM 2008!

Spiffy, eh?

$1300 @ newegg + free Hyper-V 2008. Currently has about 6 machines, 2 in "production" meaning I lose DC or DHCP if two of them are offline. Not horrible critical, but annoying if down. But it's a home network, I should be able to take some downtime. We shall see how it goes.

I am working on watching actual RAM usage and monitoring needs so I can maximize the box. Here are the specs (essentially):

I was tempted to go Vmware but neither the motherboard RAID or the rocketraid are supported in ESX. The velociraptor is in my desktop, and the flash cards and USB keys are stocking stuffers :)
