[ale] OT: hardware forumn

If this is for your learning, forget about VMWare workstation:  Use KVM and Virt-manager.  All you would need is hardware enabled virtualization capable CPU and bios.

Subject: [ale] OT: hardware forumn

I'm looking for a good place to ask questions about PC hardware.

I want to build a PC to run linux & VMWare workstation. I need to learn
something about Windows systems administration (don't laugh) and I thought
I'd make a virtual PDC and see if I can get virtual Windows machines to join
the domain. And since I'm blind, I thought I'd take the opportunity to brush
up on my hardware assembly skills too.

So I need help specing out a machine and matching mobo, CPU, and RAM on
newegg. But I don't know where to ask about that.
