Do you have a particular interest in HPUX? If not, you could easily get
an old Intel box and install a version of GNU/Linux or *BSD on it. This
would probably be the cheapest option as just about any box would do and
you'd have access to a widely used, enterprise-level Unix-like system.
Perhaps even easiest, would be to boot your current machine from a
bootable Linux distribution like Knoppix or Ubuntu.
HTH,
Shaw
