Has Comdisco finished their fire-sale? I'm regretting not snapping up an
U30 last year from them.

Screw that. I'll take a U1-E any day over a U5 - hands down. My
U1-170E Creator2D is much more responsive than the U5 I use from time to
time.
U30s, are going for very attractive prices - I got one for $500 with
400Mhz, 256MB Ram, 2x4GB, Elite3d, and SunPCi. Sold the Elite3d and
SunPCi, bought a 36GB drive that came with a metal spud, slammed the 4GB
drives into my U1, and my net was $400.
I'll agree though, that the U5 should be way less than the U30. There
simply isn't a comparison there - apples to crabapples (they are both
Sun after all).
