The Tatung machine is far better than an Ultra 10. It is built around the Sun
Engine AXi. It is SCSI based (2 Ultra wide channels!!) instead of creepy IDE
like the U10. The other thing I really like is that it is in a PeeCee ATX case
so you have choices if you need more space later.

That looks like a reasonable price for that machine with big memory. I own one
and am very happy with it.
