Yeah, but you do not want to run SpamAssassin on it. Trust me on that, I have one here over at the company (4 CPU minimal configuration only) which we keep around for playing and testing, but we have it powered down most of the time.
You might want to have a look at http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/pdf/805-2914-15.pdf, chapter 2.2 for details. We are talking 14.000 VA for a full configuration here, CPUs only, with no storage included, yet. Include four racks of full of T3's, that's 32 units at 900 watt each, adding another 30 kW to your power planning. Don't forget to plan cooling as well, all that wattage is going to end up right in your computing centre... :-)
That one is going to really hurt your budget (And a two CPU E210 is going to have approximately the computing power of about 10 Enterprise 10.000 CPUs - that's Moore's law for you).
Not that I want to spoil the fun - the E10000 was a cool machine at its time. But you really don't want one of them at home, not even for free.
