I know this isn't the vmware communities (VMUG) but, I thought I'd
start here before having to make another user account in another
system somewhere...<br>

I have a HP Proliant DL360 (G1) it's about 10 years old and I'm
looking to find out if I can install VMware Hypervisor (ESXi) 3.5i
on it. <br>

ESXi supports less hardware than ESX. If you don't have licenses to
spare, this means you're a bit out of luck and have to go with the
free version which is only limited to ESXi.<br>

System Specs are as follows:<br>
Dual P3 (1ghz) Processors<br>
Dual 72.8gb Ultra320 SCSI drives.<br>
4gb's of ram<br>
Looks like it's using the integrated Smart Array Controller.<br>

Generally the storage controller is most likely device not to be
supported<br>

This is the faster of my two servers. I also have a HP Netserver
LP2000R running VMware ESXi 3.5i, but would like a little faster
server until I'm able to afford a few Dell PowerEdge 1850's or
2850's to run Hypervisor 4 or have a enviroment to work with
hyper-v.<br>

You may be able to save some money by going with tower servers
instead of rack mounted ones. Dell typically has great deals on
them.<br>

If anyone has experience with this server model installing a
VMware ESX or ESXi product, please let me know. <br>
</blockquote>
No experience with this server model, but you might want to look
into ESX\ESXi version 2 although you may not be able to get licenses
for it. Another option is the hosted VMware Server which runs in
Windows or Linux as it will more likely support your hardware. <br>
