I have a single 64Gb RAM host (Supermicro Xeon E5-2630L v3) which is rather noisy.
What I’d like to do between now and Christmas is source three hosts (probably Mini-PCs) from eBay or Facebook or somewhere.
Constraints are:
- The host/processor must be able to run ESXi 8.0U2
- The max memory is at least 32GB
- I’d like minimum 2x1GB NICs whose hardware are supported by VMware OOTB
- Quiet
If anyone has any fruitful suggestions for hosts costing at most $350-$400 each then I’d be grateful.

You won’t really find miniPCs with 2 dedicated NICs unfortunately.
I think it’s possible with a few HP tiny/mini/micro pcs, but aside from that, nothing but a few Minisforum models and the high end NUCs which make no sense anyway.
Intel NUC skull canyon editions have dual 1G NIC.
