A plea for help sent to london.pm - having SVG in Mozilla would be fantastic, very useful for OpenGuides. Can anyone help?

Hi,
the Mozilla SVG project is currently working hard to get SVG support natively and by default into the main Mozilla build, which would quite frankly rock as I'm sure a bunch of you would agree, with SVG you can make nice PIE (charts).
Unfortunately it's a small development team and one of the main developers is currently stuck with a 700Mhz/128mb (non upgradable) box. As you can imagine, that's not exactly the most productive way of working when you have to very regularly recompile Mozilla :)
So, since he's close enough to London to be able to swing by, and since I know there are nice people here (and ones that like SVG too), and also since I've seen hardware give-aways here, I was wondering if anyone here had any box they could spare (or perhaps enough bits of hardware that one could be made) to help with the Good Cause? I don't think he needs anything earth-shattering, a box onto which he could graft more RAM than 128 would certainly prove to be a solid improvement.
You can ping me offline (or on IRC, darobin on irc.perl.org) and I'll put you in contact.
Thanks a lot!
