Thanks to a lead from Mark, I now have even more Sun Ultra 60s – another five, for the princely total of R450 (about $60). They are of varying hardware specification, but I have 1×300Mhz CPU, 2×360Mhz CPUs and 2×450Mhz CPUs, somewhere in the region of 2.5GiB RAM and a few 4 and 9GiB disks. All the machines have dual width Elite3D framebuffers. All in all, a pretty good deal ;-)

My plan is to put together at least two dual CPU machines, one running FreeBSD and another probably running OpenSolaris. *sigh* If only NetBSD supported SMP on 64-bit SPARC systems.
