What's a good way for a Scrum team to handle budgets andthat depend on other departments?

In my organization, the developers are using scrumScrum (which started recently), but the sysadmins are not.

We're about to start a large project, and we've been asked for detailed description of our hardware needs so it can be added to the budget, and because the sysadmins have a long queue of work so we'd need to request a new server far in advance, if we need one. The person the heads of both departments report to is not fully on board with the process, seeming to prefer waterfall, so I may need to be delicate in my suggestions.

Can anyone suggest a better or at least more-consistent-with-scrumScrum way of handling this, other than just guessing what we'll need and hoping it doesn't change?
