[Cialug] W2K Server P2V on VBox

[Josh More]

ESXi is ESX on a chip.  It's not the full-fledged super-expensive option.  It's more than $300, I'm sure, but I also think it's less than $3000.

Not really, .. these are SMB - $300 for a machine is an appropriate
budget. Wouldn't something with ESX at least add a zero to that?
