I'll running several virtual machines for my home study including Cisco CallManager4.x, Cisco CallManager 6.x, Cisco Unity Server, Microsoft servers (DC, DHCP, TACACS+. RADIUS etc. AutoCAD 2008.

I'm open to suggestions if this seem like an overkill but I'm looking for a server to last 4-6yrs without major upgrade.
