[HECnet] Sort of off-topic, co-locating area 8

Guys,

I've decided to move out of the UK but will keep all the machines in area 8 running by renting a 1/3rd rack from a colo provider.

At the moment I have an iMac running a bunch of VM's and SIMH instances including GORVAX that I was thinking about replacing with a 2U server, and found this on eBay:

Would that make a decent VMWare / SIMH host?
