Not a bad setup, and you should be able to up those to 336MHz CPUs 
fairly cheaply off ebay.

That's good.  There's a chance I might be able to get you a key for it 
if no one else can.  Does anyone know what models of Sun stuff use 
compatible keys?

I had the same problem in my apartment... with a Crappy++[0] ITE 
PushMatic breaker panel.  I klooged it a bit, but got a 30A 220V 
circuit in that could power my S/390.  And, as soon as I get a 3kW 220V 
UPS that should be coming to me, more things will be moved over to 
220V.

All in time for me to move out in 3 months.  YAY!

[0] Crappy++ is because the box that was installed aparently has 
provisions to prevent installation of 220V pushmatic breakers.  After 
trying to fix the breaker to fit, I ended up breaking it and ending up 
with a method to use the semi-broken breaker to connect the buss bars 
to an external SquareD 2-breaker subpanel sitting next to the pushmatic 
garbage.  The pushmatic thing might still trip at 40A, but the SquareD 
box has a 30A breaker in it, so I hope it trips first, as it's 
resettable without having to be removed. :)  Oi, I can't wait to move 
into somewhere I can put in proper electrical service.
