Esxbox Update

Quick update on my upcoming ESX host project. I have decided to return the motherboard due to me getting an awesome deal on Ebay for the FX 8370. Sadly the board is designed for 95w CPU's, and due to the 125w power hog that is the 8-core FX 8370, this would not be a good pairing.

The replacement board is an MSI 970A Carbon. I decided to get something with an M.2 Drive to run vSphere off of, so this board should do quite nicely.

The CPU will arive next week, and the ram the week after. I am really excited to get this build finished, hopefully everything will go without any hiccups!

M0nkey out.
