I don't really know where to start in terms of hardware; ideally I'd like it to be quiet and consume a minimal amount of power and I'd like the OS to be Win 2012 R2 (I'd start with Hyper-V but may like to try some others). Budget is around $500. Beyond that I'm open to any suggestions/education on hardware. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
