FWIW, my test machine at home is from System76. It's got 24G RAM and an i7 12-core processor and runs OpenStack via devstack.sh pretty well :) All for around $2400USD. You can get a 4-core, 16G system for aroun $700USD a box.
http://system76.com I've had laptops and desktops from them and I highly recommend them. They come with Ubuntu installed, so no need to either pay for a Windows license/tax or wipe Windows partition and install a *nix.
