Maximum PC

Hi all,

I am looking forward to buy a new desktop for Virtualization practice. I need a desktop where I would install windows 7 x64bit >> install workstation 7 and then practice ESX 3.5 and 4.

I'll be creating mutliple sites and then try VM stuff like HA and DRA etc ....

The configuration that I was thinking to buy goes like this

Processor -- i7-870
Motherboard -- DP55KG
RAM -- ddr3 1333 mhz 16gb
HDD -- 1tb sata
Video card -- dedicated 1gb nvidia card
Cabnet -- cooler master
SMPS 600 Watt

I have a word with my friends about this and they have different opinions. Some say that I'll not be able to create different Data Centers in VCS console and ome say yes -- I can.

Please advise folks if this is ok or modifications are required. Please keep budget in mind too

Can you post links to your components? Also, you never mentioned the budget.

thanks for your reply ..

please let me know if you require any other info .... I am in India -- the budget according to my currency is rs 60,000 = $1200
