Hey,
I'm not the most suitable person to fully answer this, but I can give some clues from what I have heard.

So currently we only have a single dedicated machine where all Openttd servers run (#1 till #10), in this machine we simply cannot add more servers, there isn't enough free computing for that. We can rework some less popular server(s), but simply adding is not possible.

Next, can we add more machines all under the same "umbrella" all connect and integrated with the website? Yes, it is possible. It is something we have done in the past. There used to machine "k" and machine "x", each running a few servers. This machines were kindly donated, and we were happy to have them.

Now the most tricky part. From what I gather, you want to pool money to get a new machine? Maybe something like patreon, liberapay, or even direct donation? That can get hairy really fast, but I guess it is worth a shot to devise some plan everyone can agree on.

how much cost buying a new machine/processig unit?

for curiosity purpose, do you know the specs of the current processing unit? the model of the processor, for example.
