normal. 400MHz SUNs are available here for 100$ or less. they usually have
quite a lot of RAM even 512MB, but in case i need more - can it be added
with standard SDRAM DIMMs, or superexpensive SUN memory only?
how about disks? usually one don't need terabyte disk, and 18-36GB SCSI
drives are really cheap used.
But do SUNs accept normal SCSI drives or SUN-only? ;)
What you say about reliability of SUN hardware - fully agree.
