What sort of machines? Are these POWER6?
I think for a straight rackmount/pedestal system, the entry point for
POWER6 is about $5k before discounts. You can pull off a low-end (JS12
with dual-core 3.8GHz POWER6 and 4GB RAM) POWER6 blade for $3k. POWER5
is well within reach for $2.5k after discounts.

Myself,
I've decided I'll be getting a brand new IBM server next year
for my home network. Natch, it'll be running AIX, not Linux, so I can
use all the RS/6000 and Apple Network Server software and such I've
accumulated over the years.
What kind of machine are you getting? Any idea?
