Well I can say with absolute conviction that Sun is definitely off the
list of choices for hardware. I tried they're 'Contact Me' to get a
quote and all I got from them was a couple promises of they'll have
someone contact me. When someone finally did (Mike W.) at
Tactix.com,
all I got was an email saying he was too busy and he'll try and work me
into his schedule. I sure expected more from a company like Sun.
IBM and Dell you can customize and purchase a system online instantly.
I have to check out Atipa
http://www.atipa.com and Penguin Computing
(

Unfortunately, I think my best option is building my own system again.
