OK in lite of this post, I looked up the PowerEdge AJ is taking about,
This server seems almost to cheap.
I could really use test system, and this seems perfect cost wise - will it have enough horsepower to do the things AJ wanted (ESXi, Exchange/Server2012/SQL/Linux webserver)

ESXi isn't anything. It isn't going to run a webserver. It's going to be a straight dev/play/test box. Nothing prod will ever be on it. I'm gonna bump up the RAM to 12GB. It'll suffice for a box to play with for learning purposes.

I added the web server for my own needs.
I know ESXi isn't adding any real load

That is pretty cheap.. jeez,.. My brother and I have been trying to deal with how to backup our data as well as our dad's for the last year or so. And we have thought about setting up replication between the three houses. We all get off site and even out of state backups - This could be a good option. Though a power hungry one.

Look into CrashPlan. You can game that system so you only need 1 paid subscription.
They let you back up between yourselves for free. Or you can pay $60 per year for unlimited up to their cloud. So setup replication via CrashPlan between the three of you, and then one person pay for a subscript and boom everything goes to the cloud.

Got it up and running yet @ajstringham ?
-
Not yet. I don't have the $$ for the RAM yet. It's gonna sit idle for a couple months, sadly.
-
Throw CentOS 7 on there in the interim and use Docker
