U5 and U10 are practically the same machine, except you have a little 
more room for expansion in the U10.

Both machines use IDE hard disks.  Plan on ditching the drive that 
comes with it.  Replace with something more modern.  I upgraded my U5 
to 40GB (fully recognized by the machine and Solaris installer) and the 
difference in disk i/o is quite significant.

For the money, it's a good box.  I like it.  My U5 is my primary file 
server at home (running OpenBSD).

If I had a little more money to play with though I would look at the 
Ultra 30.
