Last time I checked you could get a 3600 for around 3.5k. While not as cool, you can get DEC Alphas for a lot cheaper and I'm told they run OpenGenera pretty well. You might be able to actually use an Alpha for "real" work, as well.

There is also port of OpenGenera to 64bit linux. As for the real work on Alpha: 10 years ago my desk had generic PC, DEC PWS443au and Ultra 5. The PWS was perfectly usable for most of the daily work back then, but then software got bloated pretty quickly :( And if you are going to get Alpha: it requires PS/2 keyboard that really supports the whole PS/2 protocol and does not work with "AT keyboard with PS/2 connector", which is what about half of what existing "PS/2" keyboards really are.

  From personal experience, the Linux port of OpenGenera isn’t very stable.
