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.
