Got a really high spec server

Hello to all. I have just got hold of a high spec server, and have a number of old computers that I am hoping to utilise. The plan is to create virtual machines and have the server do all the processing work to run different views in FSX. The problem: I havent got a clue where to start with virtual machines or how to connect them to the clients. The server is fully installed with a pukka copy of MS Server 2003.

Am i right in thinking that this is the way forward (The server has 900Gb of Raid HD space and 16Gb of RAM). I have a good 8 port switch to link the clients.

Any suggestions as to where to go from here.

(Should have said that I have an EPIC card to act as the interface between my home built panels and the cockpit)
