Very loud. I don't know if that has a RAID controller either. Those Opterons aren't the most power friendly.

Very loud. I don't know if that has a RAID controller either. Those Opterons aren't the most power friendly. definitely knew they are power hungery little beasts! no RAID? hmm.. might not be worth it then... have to drop a $400-$800 RAID controller ... hmmm.

Software RAID... the non-hotswap is an issue too but not that bad.

I'd run XenServer from a USB key and setup those drives in an MD array.

Well, a full install of Windows with the Hyper-V role definitely does. Does Hyper-V core? no clue.

 @Dashrender It should, i believe you can create a windows software RAID with DISKPART

No, I wanted to see what the anti-virus solution did. User already opened the attachemnt, I most certain will be nuking from orbit.

Software RAID... the non-hotswap is an issue too but not that bad. Can you do software RAID on the boot drive in Hyper-V or XenServer? Yup. way better in XS than in HyperV, but both do it. It is unique to ESXi to lack that.

 Found out yesterday that the whole building HVAC (including supplemental units) will be off for cleaning all day tomorrow... so I guess we are shutting it all down for a day. I'm glad the boss didn't suggest that I sit up here and guard the open server room door all day.
