[QUOTE="VirtualMP, post: 959359, member: 114521"] I have an i7 870 on a Q57 Chipset MATX board, 12gb of budget DDR3. Currently running; TV Server (XP), passed through Tunner card and RDM storage drive. Upto 4 clients at any 1 time. Client (Windows 7 Unltimate x64 with 4gb and 4 cores, plays games no problems) Passed through HD5770 and USB, 1.5tb media drive on USB. 2 XP machines for myself and my wife to use as cloud desktops another XP machine doing some building management stuff with eventghost, passed through USB (I did try to put it on the same VM as the TV Server but it caused problems). A linux server as our home email server (the wife deals with this one). A linux workstation install which to be honest only ever gets used to do Linux things, its powered up all the time but doing nothing but updating itself Linux OpenVPNAS server x 2 (1 for the outside world and another bridging between my WiFi and home network) Linux Trixbox PABX with passed through Telephony card doing my home phones and voicemail. Also a number of down powered VM's including my windows 8 evaluation machine and some work ones. The wife is the linux person I only get involved when ESXi needs tweaking or non supported things (like RDM) need to be setup. This is the reason I am using pre built Linux machines for trixbox and openvpn, if I was a linux person it would all be on the same machine as the email server but I'm not a linux person. All inside an Antec Fusion with a corsair H100 keeping the 4 cores with HT and turbo boost cool in such a small case. I use USB drives and RDM where possible so if (when) it all falls over I can get to the files without having to look 'inside' the VMWare file structure. And as for tuners I can confirm that the TBS 6284 Quad DVB-T2 tuner I mentioned in my last post also works perfectly. [/QUOTE]
