I dropped off the Xserve3,1 this afternoon, I didn't have time to do 
anything with it (ask me about rtl8712u-most-recent-v2.6.6-bad.bin 
sometime). I think it has 6GB of RAM, a single CPU and two drives. No idea 
what OS is on it, but it should run OS X Vegemite, someone with a Mac can 
easily create an installer per https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201372
