I saw the Raspberry Pi post about Magnum Pi "Warrington Collegiate have been working on getting Windows 7 (!) running on the Raspberry Pi using the VMware View Open Client."
And so, down the rabbit hole I went.
Citrix XenServer free looks great, but I found out it won't work with my Dell server. So what I did is pulled my hard drive out of my main desktop tower, then plugged in an extra hard drive and installed XenServer on it. Works like a charm, I like it much better then the ESXi interface. So I need to build a Virtual Server Desktop... That will be coming in the Future. So far my parts list include the parts below.

In other news:
I ordered a more ram for my laptop, 8GB, and a Lid protector. I like putting my "Hacker" stickers on my Computers, so I desided, why not make a custom one to go over my whole laptop lid that won't get scraped off over time. So here is what I did.
I also made one for my Nexus 7, but I'll wait a few days before I order that one.
