Maybe the Dell PC can help out? I found out that it was quite
different than the normal specs (you can obviously change everything
on a Dell order). The bad news is that it has only 80GB hdd, but the
good ones are that it has an nVidia graphics card (Quadro NVS 285,
NV44). Maybe that's OK for showing compiz?

But: Using the xen kernel and the nvidia drivers is known to be
unstable, So while demoing xen one would not have access to compiz and
vice versa.
