   Based on early pricing estimates I've seen, it should be possible
   to build a quad-processor @ 300+MHz, 2GB rackmount system for under
   around $US 20K.

I wonder what the equivalent quad-PPRO system would cost (even with
400MHZ chips...)...  I love the Ultra as everyone knows, but I have to
say, price talks bullshit walks... and Sun has a lot of trouble
learning this especially on the high end.
