And no PCI slots.. can you say "web farm machines" ?

I've got a SunBlade 100 (512meg/15G) with Expert3D-Lite card, and its
a GREAT little workstation - has completely replaced my Wintel PC at
work for everything but Word and Outlook.

Here at home, I've got a SunBlade 1000, and its one of the nicest (if
not THE nicest) Sun box I've ever used.
