I'm planning on making files containing the list of test cases and expected
outputs by using the talos. That way, the unit tests can be run on any
computer without requiring a power processor.
We can obviously do this on the Talos server, but also playstation 3.

another option is one of the power macs, since they are 64-bit and can have
multiple faster cores (unlike the PS3's single power core -- the cell
broadband engine cores are not power cores) and are much more easily
upgradable. I've seen some for around $100.
I know debian works on them since I used to have one but got rid of it when
moving several years ago.
