Isn't a U5 basically just a PC with a SPARC processor? I'd just wander down
to the local x86 boxshifter to see if they've got any "small" and "old" IDE
disks and PC133 memory.

I've got a pile of suitable parts here, but postage would probably be more
than they're worth (no chance of cheap ParcelFarce 72 here). And I'm trying
to get shot of Dutch money, not gain more :)

I had a colo box that was entirely cable ties for screws, rolled up
envelopes for spacers, and gaffer tape for the case.
