I got a "Sun T2000":http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/t2000/ server from their "test drive":http://www.sun.com/emrkt/trycoolthreads/index.html program a few days ago. I didn't have the right serial adapter to get to the console port at home and my 30 minutes of trying to stitch together the right cable didn't work out, so I am taking it down to the perl.org rack instead of playing with it at home.

When we get it up we'll try setting it up as a perl5 and parrot smoke test server. With the Solaris zones we might be able to have it safely run tests of everything …
