If you warranty level systems are too expensive, you can get
entry level rx2660 level systems for under USD $500 (price of a
low end PC) on places like eBay

Base Rx2660 - USD $200 (if you are HW inclined you can order
additional parts like drives, memory on eBay as well)

Don't forget that HPVM requires an understanding and mgmt. of the
virtual layer - HPUX.
