Today I picked up a cheap Compaq Presario (yep, C-o-m-p-a-q) with an Athlon X2, 4GB of RAM and a 320GB SATA drive for under $300. I have some VMs and other cruft to run and I rather not do it on the Mac Pro anymore. This will do fine, especially as a playground of sorts. I wanted to put OpenSolaris 2009.06 on it, which took less than 20 minutes, including the creation of a ZFS root mirror. Another 10 minutes to flip into a Dom0 and I’m ready to go.

Very sweet indeed.
