Woah, $150?  I can never seem to keep a good eye on what market value is
for Sun machines.

I forget if I've asked this recently here, but anybody have suggestions
on an upgrade machine for an Ultra-1E-170?  Ideally I'd go to something
just as quiet, on which I could run a pair of SCSI drives (I have too
many spares here), and maybe another pair of IDE drives for more cheap
storage (I want to host a photo album/site for the family, and I can see
that eating up all the space on the 4G SCSI drives that I have)

Who is CDN?  I don't see anything like that on the vendors page....
