You can always try the simulator (plus eclipse IDE, and SDK etc.) ibm provides.
 It is free (I think there is some registration to do).  You need a linux
machine with a beefy processor (and fedora is the supported distro) and a
decent amount of RAM.  I run it on a 1.8Ghz Merom (core 2 duo for laptops for
those that don't know) and it is a bit sluggish (a second or two between code
steps in the debugger for instance) but considering it is basically a full
virtualization of a cell computer ( and on top of that virtualization, runs ppc
linux ) it is not a surprise.
