I know that these are high end boxes, but...
it still seems to be priced a bit high. I bet that I could purchase a high end motherboard, place 4 of these dual core CPU's on it and populate it with memory and place it into a high end case/PS with a decent SATA I/O setup at a substantial savings over Sun's prices. I also believe that I saw a Linux system vendor selling units not unlike this for less than Sun is charging.
