Test lab build

Hello,

 

I currently have a VMware ESXi 5.1 server at home with an Intel Core i7-3770S (65 watts) processor with dual NICs.  The server runs at 28 watts idle (2 ssd drives) which is very efficient (24/7 machine).  I also have access to iSCSi, NFS, etc.

 

 

I am planning to add a second host to do more testing and learn before I break stuff at work.  I am looking at two options.  To build another host exactly like the current machine or go with two additional NUC machines for a smaller footprint.

Are there limitations as far as having one NIC on a host?  Any other stuff I should be aware of?  I did read online before posting :).

 

Thanks,

TT
