I played with ESXi on N36L shortly but because (1) you can not passthrough a hardware controller to a VM and (2) CPU is incredibly weak for any practical application, it makes little sense to run ESXi on a microserver other than for testing and experimenting. How it can make sense to run ESXi on a microserver when you say CPU is incredibly weak for any practical application? I am considering selling N40L so I can build my own mini server (same server case size) with much powerful CPU and better motherboard that support passthrough. Tempted to do the same, but the cost of new server will be higher than the N40L I assume?
