I'm thinking of buying a mac mini server for my email needs (small office server for 999 with all the features i want build in)

I wanted to give it a test drive before i commit so i was thinking "hey this sounds like the perfect job for a vm" however i havent been able to see any examples of running snow lepoard server on a vm

does anyone know if its possible and/or there is a premade vm package to test it out with?
