:-) I use VMware for that when I need to have more physical machines
than real machines. Or if I need more real machines, I can probably use
some in one of the labs at work (we've got one lab with >1500 computers
in it, but that lab has recently had to be moved so I don't know (a)
where it is, or (b) if it's completely set up again yet).
The control systems in that lab are pretty cool. They've got a control
console they can use to change network topology, power settings ranging
from a single machine to the entire room (including rows and racks at a
time), and the last time I actually used machines in the lab (which is
some 12 years ago now or so), a custom imaging solution for configuring
the systems.
