[SunRescue] Looking for a good ultra 60 2X

See www.supersellers.net - U60 w/2x300 CPUs, 512 Meg RAM, 4 GB HD, and Creator 3D brand new, factory sealed for $3200.

A bit of a compromise CPU-wise, but maybe you could use it...

If there's any chance at all that you'll be doing anything involving
texturing, get the Expert.  The Creator and Elite line do very well for
T&L but texture performance is miserable.  The Expert doesn't compare to
high end graphics systems in texture performance but it is a solid
midrange performer.

I find the Elite is a great fit for apps like SDRC IDEAS.  Then again, I
learned to use it on an IBM 320 with a pile of RT's as X terminals, so
perhaps my expectations are just low.  :)
