Nobody Wants My Money - Part III

I have mostly been doing Itanium work the last 5 years and consequently I don't have much in the x86 department. I decided to look around for an AMD64 system. I don't have a lot of faith in machines build from random parts found at the local corner store. The big companies use the same components but at least they are fairly well integrated.

Sun's Ultra 20 looked pretty decent on the low end. Standard Tyan motherboard and a good power supply. So I decided to sign up for their widely hyped^wadvertised Try and Buy programme. They say it's Risk-Free! And that's easy for them to say. Because I got absolutely no response to my request. Zilch. Nada. Not even a bugger off mail. So it ain't gonna be a Sun...
