@adnan @bcantrill Absolutely. Back in the day Sun ran a contest, "Try before you buy". Get a machine (an Ultra 60, IIRC), for 60 days shipped to you free.
Blog about something interesting you did with it, enter the contest, and maybe win the machine.
I instrumented Sendmail with DTrace, evaluating different queuing strategies (along with a comparison of Solaris and FreeBSD on the machine). Found a sendmail bug along the way, and won the contest.
