While they're something I've wanted for years, I have to admit that I 
have absolutely no use for them, and they would most likely be better 
off going to someone that would use them.  I haven't powered on my 
SS20/712 in nearly 5 years.  Now if OpenBSD supported multiple CPU's 
that would be a different matter. :^)

Now the real question is which is worse, the heat from a SS20/514, or 
a SunBlade 1000!  The SunBlade puts out so much heat I only really 
use it to low-level format HD's for my VMS box. :^(
