Sun is currently playing this gimmick where the base price is really good, but that same base configuration is useless, and Sun knows it. Then, as soon as one starts getting the second disk drive ($360 per 500GB drive? You've GOT to be kidding me!) or more memory ($360, what are those RAM chips made of, Titanium?) the price goes through the roof. Would you want to do business with a company playing these kinds of games? As far as Ultra20 M2 is concerned, it's a desktop PC. And you already know what I think about desktops.
