What happened to the AMD systems which were heating up my

Those machines are owned by IBM. IBM would be happy to donate them
to the ASF. However, they then become a potential support annoyance/
headache/migraine for Infra. IIUC, it's simpler, more manageable,
etc to buy new, standard hardware and roll it into mainstream ASF
infrastructure.
Um... that is not what I had understood, I was under the impression
that AMD donated them to the Geronimo project for TCK mucky muckski.
Well, you can't donate to 'Geronimo' per se only to the ASF. I wasn't
involved directly in this, but I believe the heritage for the machines
is AMD -> IBM. IBM people used the machines for their geronimo work
(including GBuild).
