Well, since the old one was deleted/removed/what have you; i'm gonna start a new one, but im gonna post my whole lab...because i can!
Not in the rack is my adorable HP G8 Micro Server that's had a change of heart, she has a E3-1265LV2 Xeon instead of the celeron that was in there before, and has 16Gb of RAM. I am also using x2 2Tb RE4 harddrives in RAID1 for local storage for work in progress stuff/stuff i dont care if i loose.
Top server is my secondary ESXi host, shes loaded with dual X5570, 72Gb of RAM, x2 72Gb SAS drives in RAID1 for boot + x2 300Gb SAS drives in RAID1 for local VM swaps and temp data. Also has a Qlogic dual port 10Gb card and a quad port 1Gb card.
Second server is my third ESXi host, shes loaded with dual E5530 and 60Gb of RAM, x2 72Gb SAS drives in RAID1 for boot + x2 300Gb SAS drives in RAID1 for local VM swaps and temp data; same as the primary. Also has a Qlogic dual port 10Gb card.
Third server is my RedHat iSCSI SAN, that's loaded with a single E5530 and 6Gb of RAM, it then has x2 300Gb SAS drives in RAID1 for boot + x8 300Gb SAS drives in RAID10 for iSCSI LUN1 and another x8 300Gb SAS drives in RAID10 for iSCSI LUN2, using a M5015 HW RAID card, also has a Chelsio T420 CR card installed for serving the iSCSI LUN's.
Bottom server is my FreeNAS server with a Supermicro X8DTE-CS045 dual E5530 and 48Gb of RAM. HBA is a M1015 crossflashed to P20 IT Firmware with 2 SAS cables to the Supermicro backplane. Mirrored 80GB Intel SSD's for boot , x7 4TB WD Red's RAIDz3 for Movies , x7 2TB WD RE4's RAIDz3 for ISO's/software , and x7 2TB WD RE4's RAIDz3 for TV shows and misc data. I also added a chelsio T420-CR 10GB card, the chassis is a Supermicro SC846E16-R1200.
On the bottom is x2 SUA1500RMu2 APC's (+ one in the back you cant see) all have management NIC's and i use the APC PowerChute appliance to control them and initiate shutdowns when needed
