Vorlon,
     Yes.. it has Virtualization support. It is a dell PowerEdge T630. It has hardware Raid with hot swappable drives (i think). Right now i am still waiting for the funds to start buying drives and memory :) I was just on Amazon and saw 14tb drives for less than $120 but i want to go with all SSD drives because of the performance. I may choose to go with a mix.. Run VMs on the SSDs and use HDDs for mass storage. Hopefully in a couple of weeks i will start moving things to it. :) I hear TrueNAS is a great OS to run.
