For Earth Day, I am retiring my old (and dangerous) Sun Blade 2000. I'm replacing it with a new Ultra 24. Granted, it's not up the drool-worth specs of Rama's system, but it will do for now. I expect my office to be much cooler now (and quieter).
This will also allow me to use the latest xVM Server hypervisor technology, which is good because I'm on the xVM Ops Center team and I need to get some of this stuff to work.

if you want to borrow my decibel meter to get some sound ratings from that old beast and the new machine, its in my office (along with your package).
I can take that old and dangerous beast as a donation, write an e-mail and i can give you a US address where to send it....
i have plenty of space in my house and I'm half def so it will be no problem for me..

Thanks for the offer, Walter, but it's not my system to give away.
IA? Intel? Not so intelligent, in my opinion.

Well, when Windows runs on Sparc I'll get an Ultra25. :)
Sun's page at http://www.sun.com/desktop/workstation/ultra24/ says that the Ultra 45 is the "1st Sun workstation with an Intel processor". Doesn't the Sun 386i count?
