Editing The Unofficial Homelab HCL (section)

==Desktop Hardware==
Standard business/consumer desktops are often workable as low cost hypervisor hosts. They are usually available for a sensible price second hand on ebay and local sale sites, or possibly from an employer who is having a hardware refresh and is happy to loan a budding homelabber some old hardware. Desktop hardware would not usually be found in, for example, VMware's official HCL but will often still work in a vendor-unsupported configuration. The models below have been successfully used by the community.
