My prior WhiteBox suddenly didn’t start-up anymore; the guys over at Alternate did some tests and concluded; the motherboard was broken. They didn’t give me a replacement, but will send the barebone to Asus. I should expect it to return in six weeks! Yes, I definitely made some noise over there and finally got discount on the new model, the Asus V3-P5G45. I also swapped the DVD-DMA for a DVD-SATA, and placed all the other parts into the new box. I pressed the power button with crossed fingers, and the Asus V3-P5G45 works like a charm. I only had to answer some relocation questions when I tried to start the VM’s. So here’s my new shopping list:
- Bare bone Asus V3-P5G45
- Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33 GHz
- Memory GeiL 8 GB DDR2-667 Kit
- Storage Samsung HD501LJ 500GB Internal SATA 16MB 7200RPM Hard Drive
- Network Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter
- DVD-ROM Samsung SA-D163
Do you know the price ? (not with your discount of course).

179 EURO
That adds up to € 706,- tax included at Alternate.
The V3-P5G45 isn't available in the US. I have made a US version of this and wrote it up at the vmware communities site, thread 200338.
Thanks for the help Eric,
