The only caution I might see is the drive space.
4 VMs = 5 actual OS's.
500GB might get rather slim, depending on what OS and what you are doing with them.
Easily changed, though.
I was hoping for under £1000 don't mind recon or grade A used.
Is a quad essential?
Not too many machines with 32gb standard and upgrading from 16gb looks to be over £200
If I wasn't to run simultainously would I get away with 16gb.
Thanks for your answer

For the RAM, each VM, and the host, needs its own chunk of RAM. Devote 4GB to each, and 16GB goes away rather quickly.
All depends on exactly what OS and applications are running.
Here is my 32GB system, running simultaneous 4VM's.
Win 10 Pro, Server2016, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and the host Win 10 Pro.
Out of 32GB, 10GB spare.
And yes, you need a good CPU. Mine is an i7-4790k.

Thanks my heart was saying 16gb my head 32gb.
Do you think I can get what I need for £1000?
Thanks Tim

I've gone for it thanks for your help
