Paul,
For a personal box a low end 520 would likely work pretty well. Work
hard to find one in the P05 tier though as the software becomes doable
in that tier and then you can get V5R3, R4, V6R1, V7R1 keys for the
thing. Good range of O/S support there. You will need to find an HMC to
LPAR but if you're willing to just get a couple sets of disks you can
reboot on different versions if required.
You can almost certainly get something under $10,000 with drives,
cards, Memory DVD and RAID. Tape drive not included. Poke around and
check with customers doing upgrades.

They can run V7R1 and V6R1, which the 270 can't."
How cheap is 'really cheap? I'm thinking of something for personal
use/experimentation.
