Scarlett,

if you are going to keep it at home, unless u have a VERY separate room for
IT equipment, please consider that all Txxxx servers (you want ldoms, don't
you?) are as quiet as a jet about to take off... and the only electrically
cheap one is the T1000 averaging 100W. If you still want the T stuff, just
have a look at this mailing list, some days ago some machines were offered
for free.

If you just want to fiddle with sparc64 without ldoms, consider a sun4u
platform: best pizza box server is the Fire V120, while if you like jets
(but quieter ones than T series) V240s are nowadays cheap on the market; if
you instead want a workstation you can find anything from Blade 5/10 (the
cheapest in every sense) to power-hogs like 1500 and 2500.
