The mac mini used for the D auto-tester has a failing drive (all but

So, to avoid going to go without testing on a mac for several days, I
need someone to loan me access to their system. Even better more than
one person. Even better, for more than just a few days. Having just
a single test host == single point of failure. I don't like single
points of failure.
Any volunteers? Please send me mail.

I was looking for a cheap way to rent a mac recently, this is the best I
found:
http://virtualmacosx.com/index.php/xcode-plans
$5/week or $14.75/month for the cheapest plans, if you can't find
anything else quickly. I haven't used it so I don't know if they allow
an auto-tester, but they have desktop and server plans that'd likely
allow running one.
They explicitly list CI/Build Servers as a server plan use case. That
puts it into the $35/month category, or more likely $45/month since I
don't believe the tester can survive with only 1 gig of memory. I'm
already spending a couple hundred a month running this thing and would
rather not add to that.
