As it turns out, that's what UIUC does too :-). llvm.org (aka
llvm.cs.uiuc.edu) lives at UIUC. Moreover, we also have an LLVM funding account
here in case we need to channel funds to buy machines in the future; that's
where the GSoC money as well as the dev meeting sponsorship money lives. If
locating in the Bay Area is not a requirement, as you said, then placing more
machines at UIUC is something to consider.

Already happens for llvm.org.
