If MHz are the issue ... you can get SUN NETRA T1 machine off ebay from 50-300$ depending on its age and ingredients. These used Netra's range from 400M-1.2G Hz. These are 1U units. They offer far greater performance bang then x86's at at like MHz.
For example, a Netra T1 500MHz, 2GB PC-133 RAM and 36GB SCSI, is CAD$38. Another similar but not-as-old one is CAD$137. They run openBSD well, but there were some chicken and egg installation difficulty stories around (boot/install from CD not working) but all seems prior to 4.x. Not sure ... perhaps others can advise. I've only ever seen them running. Perhaps the Netra's will serve your cause. /S -----Original Message----- From: Douglas A.
