Benchmarking database

Is there a ready made database for benchmarking a server's performance
to see what tweaks external to SQL Server will have an effect?

In principle, you could use any database that you know how to recreate
easily, eg. Northwind. However I would guess that most people would prefer
to benchmark and performance test using a test database that looks like (or
is a copy of) their production database, in order to make the test
meaningful for their environment.
