Just run vmWare ESX (open source version used to be free, prolly still is) and run all the machines at once. You got 2 TB of Raid 5 disk, and a server. Might need more memory unless you have a bunch. Snapshots, and all the other cool stuff make virtual machines the only way to go.

BTW, you can't help it if you're a DBA. Is Hindi your first language or English?
I have a bunch of VMWare in the shop at work. All on gigantic HP servers. And we stack them VM's high....really high
