When will say the Ultra 1 get down to around $200 for a base system
with just the CPU, RAM (64MB or higher)?  I don't need any hard drives,
and yeah, I have tons of hard drives.  Only like 1-2GB, but nonetheless, lots
of SCSI drives.

$**t.  I was hoping for something cheaper/used.
Oh well, my friend says he's gonna give me several 300MB SCSI drives
free with the purchase of a 1.2GB and 3.6GB Micropolis 5.25" FH (replacing existing
drives, and the 3.6GB is brand new).
Even though Micropolis is no longer, I've always liked their drive quality - IMHO, I think
they've made the best SCSI drives.

I always get something free from him, as I've known him and bought misc computer
crap from him for the last 6 years, including a fair share of older Sun stuff.
