The ESX whitebox mainboard Topic

Hi all,

I'm trying to put together a VERY cheap whitebox ESX server. Preferably in a small minitower enclosure, cheap dual core CPU (AMD or Intel) and 4GB of memory. Storage is to be external (via an Adaptec 29160 SCSI card), so not an issue here.

I have been looking everywhere for chipsets that will work with ESX. However, it is very hard to find this information. Out of a number of forum posts here and there, I figured out some chipsets that will/should work with ESX:

INTEL

Intel 3000MCH

Intel 82875P

Intel E7221

Intel 845

Intel 850

Intel 865

Intel 915

Intel 945

Intel 965

Intel 975

NVIDIA NFORCE

Nforce 430

Nvidia C51PV / Nvidia MCP51

NVIDIA nForce™4 SLI X16

nForce 6150LE

NVIDIA nForce 2200 Professional

VIA

VIA K8T800

VIA KM 266

ServerWorks

HT1000

Anyone able to extend this list?
