Computers for cross-platform development

[Christoph Harder]

Did you consider buying used server for this?
I once was lucky to get 8 AMD Opteron boards, processors and a ton of memory for very little.
I wouldn't buy a new server for this unless you plan to run the systems 24/7 (energy cost), else you're much better of with used systems.
