This machine works great! I installed ESXi 7.0 Update 3. Keep in mind VMware discontinued support for the Intel Xeon E5-2600-v3 Series in ESXi version 8.0. While this is sad, it simply means you won't get functionality and security updates. ESXi v7.0u3 is still great if you are using this purely in a personal lab environment and not hosting services on the internet.
