We may be interested in supplying the test setup for a limited time (2 months?), as we already have a large percentage of the hardware needed; it all depends upon how much interest there is.
This would also be a prime opportunity for Linux-friendly hardware vendors (of disk drives, RAID controllers, etc.) for exposure from sponsorship, so we might want to leverage this, as well.
