Supermicro Workstations great for VMware lab environments

I needed a good local lab environment that replicated our server environment but without using a noisy rack server layout. In a data center, the Supermicro servers are fine but in an office environment, I needed a quieter compute setup that would allow me to install VMware-related licensing from VMUG. The Workstation provides all of the compatibility needed with VMware so I can test newer versions of software that are beta and may be buggy. The local environment is preferred because I may be doing multiple Operating System reloads over the weekend or finding code that is too unstable and reverting back to previous stable versions.
