Bought a couple of these when VA got out of the hardware business.

Nice machines. Really LOUD (as stated). You'll need low profile memory. 
The one thing I don't remember is whether it had two power supplies. I 
don't *think* they did, but it's not important to me that they have 
redundancy (home machines).

I'm running FreeBSD 5.0 on one and Solaris 9 on the other. Great machines.

The newer Sun machines (V210 and V240) look really nice, especially with 
their updated LOMs.
