Or old Storageworks cabinets and disks. :-)

Personally I'd like to be able to run an VMS instance on my
Synology NAS box. I have that box powered on 24/7 anyway.
Now, I guess that my current one based on a "Pentium N3710"
is not enough for VMS. Might need a newer one. But having an
VMS instance on one of these would be nice...

Seems as Synology uses KVM for the VM tools...
