Adrian,
With regard to that, how about M4000 class machines ?. There is
a job lot of 3 for sale on fleabay uk for just ~300 ukp for the 3.
They do seem more thick on the ground and at reasonable cost generally.
As you say, that class of Sun h/w is built like a brick outhouse and
far better quality than most X86 server kit.
While I don't have the spare cash to buy them, nor the electricity
bills to run them, could get them up and working here in the uk and
provide some support if someone else can host them...
Regards,
Chris
