hey eric, call asu and find out how you can get one of their old computers. i live in gainesville and i picked up an optiplex 765 for less than $25 from the university of florida. I'm using it to build linux from scratch. my compile standard build time was like 12 minutes when doing it in a Virtual Machine. Now an SBU is 2 minutes. now it is a different/newer computer so that might have been the problem but I prefer not having to split the RAM.
