Please elaborate. Currently I am watching ebay to get a Sun Blade 1000
with 750 MHz US III. I wane use it as a general purpose desktiop
machine. It will replace an Octane R12k 300 MHz with ESSI. I need
somthing with a faster CPU and moderately accelerated 2D X11.

SGIs expensive? ???
300 MHz R12k SI / SE Octanes are down to 100 EUR and 500 / 600 MHz V10
Fuels are below 500 EUR.
