  The Ultra5 and the Ultra10 are actually both fairly crappy machines,
as Sun hardware goes.  Among their worse/cheapest/thinnest sheet metal
designs.  I've accidentally crushed an Ultra10 by putting a
not-too-heavy box on top of it, whereas fat-ass me can STAND on an
Ultra2 or an Ultra60 with no ill effects.
