Have you tried using the one mentioned in the wiki?  Its IP address is
192.168.0.108 and has been up for almost six months:

$ uptime
22:17:08 up 166 days,  4:54,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

However, I just installed some updates on it, including a new kernel,
which required a reboot.  As for storage, there's seems to be a fair
amount of free space:

$ df -hTl  -x tmpfs
Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1     ext3     19G  2.0G   16G  11% /
/dev/hdb5     vfat     38G   32K   38G   1% /media/sharing

The last time I checked, the machine was under the workbench and
plugged into both the network and the UPS.  The username and password
are on the machine, according to the wiki.  So, if anyone wants to
play with it, feel free to hook up a monitor, keyboard, and mouse and
have at it.

Dunno.  Give it a shot.
