They are community systems in the sense that JoshB told the community
Sun donated a box and MyYearbook said they donated a box. MyYearbook
had stated that we (cmd) were going to manage the MyYearbook box but
nothing has come of it as of yet. I haven't heard anything on the Sun
machine in a *long* time.

My guess is that everyone is busy.

So I have a question :)... The community does have money. We have IO
available, what we don't have is a machine. Would the community be
interested in purchasing a box?

We could fairly reasonably get an HP or Dell (the new Dell's aren't
nearly as bad as they used to be) or Sun 8 core box with reasonable ram
and just a raid 1 for the OS. Then use the external IO we have available
with that machine.
