bios 1.0.4.c18, dual xeon E5520, RAM 12GB, LSI SAS MEGARaid 8708EM2 (firmware 1.40.342-1650)
2 SAS 300GB 10000rpm
4 SATA 500GB 5400rpm
added later: dual gigabit PCI-E nic intel 82571EB

Integration Method

directly on the machine, from scratch. made usb installation stick for esxi, and installed on another usb stick. using usb as system disk doesn't waste space on hdd's and ghosting is very easy.
hardware fully natively detected and working.

Known Issues

- network transfer with host very slow. xp guests affected, other guests (win2008, win 7, win2012, centos, redhat) not affected

- vsphere client: processors temperature reading bad (-50-35°C). not a sensor issue, it works with other method (3570°C)

Additional Comments

about usb stick as system disk, 1GB is enough, as the system use less than 900MB (space above isn't even partitioned).
it's a very powerful server, fully compliant with esxi 5.5, for a very low price, total configuration cost 450€ (early 2014).
