I bought this for 129 quid:

Adding 4Gb of memory + 2x512Gb drives + a graphics card pushed
the total to 360 quid.
On that I run 8 xen guests regularly with no issues:
skx@gold:~$ xm list
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 2868 2 r----- 154556.5
cfmaster.services.xen 1 256 1 -b---- 410.7
etch32.desktop.xen 16 256 1 r----- 0.1
etch32.security-build.xen 13 128 1 -b---- 3.7
etch64.desktop.xen 15 256 1 -b---- 2.5
etch64.security-build.xen 14 128 1 -b---- 2.7
exim4.local.test 12 128 1 -b---- 16.6
So I'd say with 300 quid you could manage it. Memory is likely to be
the most contended resource, so having 2-4Gb will be good!
