Hopefully I understood your question.
I'm doing something similar at home (8 hardware architectures so
far). For mips, I'm using a SiliconGraphics Indy CMN B006Y87 R4400
(175MHz CPU, 128MiB RAM, 2GiB SCSI HDD). For m68k, I'm using an
Apple Macintosh Quadra 650 (Motorola 68040 33MHz CPU, 56MiB RAM,
2GiB SCSI HDD). Not especially fast machines, but pretty easily
obtainable and relatively inexpensive... both fit nicely on a 19"
rack/cabinet shelf (plus 2U for the Indy, 3U for the Quadra). There
are a lot of huge packages these are far too underpowered to build,
but for the small stuff I write, they work just fine.
