Virtual Desktop Infrastructure at Home

[bigDog]

I have been thinking of building this up. Use medium to high end multicore intel CPU(s), some 32 GB RAM and 5TB with RAID 10. The study room requires four virtual consoles that can do virtual mouse, keyboard and screen connections using the vdi infrastructure. I'm not a hardware nerd.

Can I have you more knowledgeable guys educate me?
