Who needs Mac VMs anyways? Or, why the heck did I do this? Turning current-gen Mac Minis into ESXI vSphere hosts isn’t the strangest thing you’re ever going to do, but be warned: the route I took does void the AppleCare warranty included with the computer.

When my users asked for new Mac OS VMs to test Xcode for teams, I jumped at the chance to build ESXI hosts. Being a lifelong Mac Geek I’ve spent a fair amount of time fiddling in the guts of Macs and doing all sorts of strange Mac Wizardry.
