[rescue] What do people think of a Sun Fire V210^W^W Ultra 45

[Andrew Gaylard]

While on the topic of recommendations,  I'm about to purchase a slightly-used
Ultra-45 for personal use.  Is anybody willing to share their
experiences with these boxes?

Single-CPU @ 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 250GB disk, graphics.

Thanks,
- Andrew
