If the "fiddling" is similar to what is necessary to run VMS on the white box alphas then have a look at
http://home.zonnet.nl/hvlems
The white box alphas were tergeted at the WNT market. Adding two srm parameters works wonders for VMS. It does not involve hardware mods and AFAIK the mods are completely reversible.

Yes, the DS10L comes to mind. My HECnet node AXPEE:: is one of those.
They are EV6-based (nice and quick!) and are available clocked at
466MHz and 600MHz.
There are other 1U models, but that's the one I'm most familiar with.
If so could said system be considered to be a quiet one?
Eh, so-so.

Well, this is definitely a size/noise tradeoff, at least in many
cases. For low noise, you generally want large-diameter, low-speed
fans. For fans small enough to fit into a 1U enclosure, neither of
those are attainable, so you end up with the little screamers.

Eh, so-so.
For example I have here a SUN
UltraSPARC 5 machine who happens to be about that size and is
currently working headless, and serving as my website manager (hosting
entity and server for same.) it happens to be so quiet the only way
I'd know that the fellow is working is that I promptly logon to the
unit every few hours via SSH or bring up the site on the browser.
Certainly reasonable even if that's just about the worst machine Sun
ever built. ;) I'll bring some good (small) Sun hardware to the next
VCFe for you.
I'm trying to find a keyboard for the fellow so I can also use it as a
regular workstation, so far my regular source has not responded.
A Sun keyboard? I'm swimming in them. Send me your shipping address.
What I'd really like to do is to find another one, plus a keyboard,
and a terminal server that SUN made once. Having obtained them I would
simply configure Number Two as a webserver with its console out line
connected to that TS unit. Number One would become a regular
workstation.
I don't recall Sun ever having made a terminal server. But, I do have
probably a hundred Sun systems here, from 1U rackmount to 1800lb
machines with 64 CPUs.
I don't have many Alphas nowadays, and the one small one I do have
(the aforementioned DS10L) is in use, so I can't help you there, at
least not right now.

As far as I can understand, one MIPS is roughly one VUPS, correct?
More or less...depends on who you ask.
So how come I get 14 VUPS on the same host running SIMH whilst my Hercules install peaks at 180?
Ummm...because one is an IBM mainframe architecture and the other is a
VAX? MIPS is a very, very different thing between different architectures.
True, but a 360 is also a CISC machine, somewhat simpler than VAX but not massively so.

I'm told E-11 is faster than simh. That's the trade-off for
portability. I usually run simh on the fastest (in terms of integer
performance) computer here, which is a large UltraSPARC system. I can't
run E-11 on that. The UltraSPARC machine, even while busy, runs rings
around my Core i7 quad desktop box running simh.

That's a good question.
For example, how does the SIMH pdp11 compare to E-11? I can't make a direct comparison, unfortunately.
I did notice that SIMH vax seems surprisingly slow, at least when running NetBSD.
Another data point: dtcyber (a Cyber mainframe emulation) runs quite fast. I haven't tried to express it in MIPS, or VUPS (or CUPS?) but it's much faster than the original hardware, which was in the 3-10 MIPS range. So it seems to be closer to what you saw for Hercules. And a Cyber is not that easy to emulate, due to its oddball floating point.

PS: How is this network connected to the rest of HECnet?
Currently it isn't. It was supposed to have simh running a copy of vms but that never got setup due to not being able to get the networking to function properly (tun/tap wasn't doing what it should).
I need to upgrade that machine so that I can use the crossbow network virtualization but upgrading a machine that i have limited access to is less than a fun idea. :)
Once we get the bridge working on wiggum I can also connect it to someone else. Last night while I was falling asleep I thought about this. I could also connect the bridge to my house, but that would be silly. If I'm going to do that I could just go ahead and setup the vpn tunnel to go to my house and skip wiggum altogether. :)
I'm setting up a new VM at home who's sole purpose in life is to be a vpn concentrator and HECnet bridge. I'll get you new vpn info sometime later this morning.
At that point you'll be bridged to my local DECnet network. I don't have any machines running locally (I really need to do something about that) but I'm connected to Dave M. and Peter L. via GRE tunnels on our cisco boxes.
