Ebay seller lucite-bakelite has Sun Ultra-40's. I bought
a dual-core 
dual processor with 8gb, slot load DVD-RW for $149 plus shipping.
A 
single core dual processor at 3ghz, with 12gb, slot load DVD-RW is going
for $169. No disks or sleds, but spuds are common and cheap ($5) and so 
are
SATA drives. I added two drives to mine, one is a 32gb SSD and the 
other a
500gb spinning rust

For what it's worth, I've bought SGI parts from this
seller in the past,
and the stuff has been in excellent condition and
well-packed.
Thumbs-up.

He's about an hour away from my sister in Ohio. Next
time I go down
there I may have to make a visit in person, if possible :-)
