Rather use ESXi 4.1 and get up and running quickly. If your hardware is not on the supported list there are other lists of tested hardware where people have it running on "Unsupported" hardware.
Player is not a solution if the Virtual machine needs to be running 24/7. It's more suited to testing and demo use.
Agreed--I haven't really found server, however, to be all that great for 24/7, so I assumed (and we know what happens when one assumes), that it was being used for testing. For any sort of production use, ESXi 4.1 is quite good.
