Let us know what you are currently using so we can dig through the scrap pile and hopefully find something better !!!! For example I have a hyper threading Zeon 2.8Ghz with SCSI and 1Gb memory or dual core Intel 2180 with SATA and 2 Gb memory I can lend, both Dell servers.

Can anyone give me some ideas on where I might be able to find some systems I can test on? I have a .Net application that talks to a MySQL database. The current dev and qa systems require Windows for the application, but can run MySQL on either Windows (same or different system) or Linux. Any help would be appreciated.
