Snakeoil Salesman 2 channel setup

[agent_kith]

Been so busy with the new job lately I havn't had time for any Snakeoil development. 

Recently I've acquired a second hand Xeon machine, and my intention is to run ESXi on it, and spin up a VM running LMS. Not sure how the SQ will be like, but very interested to find out. And the little time I had after work, I'm working on this new Xeon board.

Here's the picture of the new machine (Xeon 1230 V3 with 32 GB of ECC RAM, and water cooled).


The motherboard is a Supermicro X10SLL-F, it's a server board with out of band management. This means I can run this computer headless (don't connect keyboard/mouse to this machine). Control of this machine is done remotely from another computer via a web browser. This is the login screen:


Once logged in, I can start a remote console (this is similar to Windows remote desktop or vncviewer), by clicking the "Launch Console":



And this is the console, I'm running ESXi on this server:



As mentioned before, my playback system is a 3 way computer setup with: 

1. Music player running Snakeoil with squeezelite only (the square box with the blinding blue light above)
   
2. LMS running on a computer that's running a host of other stuffs (Ubuntu)
   
3. NAS storing all music (FreeNAS)
   

My intention is to run LMS in a virtual machine on this new server running ESXi (along with my Snakeoil development VMs), to replace machine 2 above.

Also have a second server Atom motherboard (donated by tp1). Once I've finished setting up this Xeon machine, I'd re-purpose the Atom Xeon and replace machine 1 in the above list.

When completed, I'd be running server grade hardware on my 3-way computer playback system, all running on ECC RAM.

The beauty of these server board is ease of management. There was a problem with this Xeon motherboard initially, the CPU fan speed is not spinning right. This issue is fixed by upgrading the BIOS via the web interface. And I can mount ISO images virtually and install software via the web interface. All this means a better platform for Snakeoil development.
How will this new setup sound when finished? Hopefully in time I can find out.
