It's a fine homelab hypervisor, but seller did not include air shroud
These servers do the trick for esxi, but the seller did not include the mylar air shroud to make this thing usable. Without airflow directed over the CPU, this thing heats up fast! Had to power it down and order an air shroud with express delivery. Cost me an extra 60 bucks and a week of downtime. I'll bump this review up a bit if the seller does something about it.Update:Contacted the seller and they sent the shroud to me via 2 day delivery. While I still think it should have come with the server, their speed and courtesy in dealing with my issue gets 5 stars from me.After installing the shroud, the server temps are within 2% of my other identical server. All is looking good!
