should shove a copy of esxi on them and it will be easier to manage and more efficient, ditch all the internal hdds and get a san just a suggestion not a put down :D Otherwise sweet setup

hello, what brand of network cables are you using? They seem to be quite thicker than a normal Cat5e/Cat6 network cable, especially the ones plugged in the back of the servers. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Great video btw!
