I would like to cast my vote for an Ultra 10 as well -- I have one as my DNS server. The main reason would be that it accepts commodity x86 hardware (memory, hard drives, cdrom drive, VGA output), so spare parts aren't that difficult to find :) Its power consumption is acceptable, too, as previously mentionned by other posts. It also will, like most sparc machines, default to the serial console if there is no monitor connected. And since you indeed don't need that much horsepower to do accomplish what you wish to do, it seems like a good fit. :) Hope it helps, -- Alexandre Gauthier
