Hi Phill,
"I would love for you to do a step by step instructions on how someone with NO experience can accomplish this."
I just bought a new server (HP proliant GL310G5 Xeon QC@2.13 Ghz ~8 GB) to run ESXi as well in combi with a nv+ as storage, here's a step by step which worked for me:
First, make sure you have NFS enabled:

Next create a share which will act as your NFS share: (i'm using the folder "esx-data")

Check the share permissions:

Now we created a point for the ESX server to mount to, time to dive into ESX! 8)
Start the "add storage" wizard

fill out the correct details:

and we have a go! :)

Hope this helps!
