There are sometimes bargains to be had from ebay.co.uk - recently I got
a dual 60MHz SPARC 10 with a 17" monitor (screen burn, but OK) for just
over 200 which is pretty good value I think.

There are a number of UK dealers, but they do tend to charge 'business'
rates. I'm also under the impression that Sun still give fairly generous
rebates on old machines for upgrade (5 or 10% off list price).

Other UK-based Sun VARs: Peripheral Technology (Derby), Stellar (London),
Amtec (not sure where they are based).

I'm in Wiltshire and use Suns at work as well as at home.
