Take a look on eBay and see what they have sold at. If you are
registered on eBay you can see the completed auction prices for
yourself, but if you are not, just skimming the titles I see:


Sun E450, 4 x 400Mhz, 3Gb RAM, 4 x 18Gb, DVD sold at £100 (UK pounds)
SUN E450 2 x 400 MHZ CPU 1 GIG RAM RAID BACKPLANE Sold at £199 UK pounds.
SUN E450 with 2 x 400MHz CPU and 3GB Memory Sold at £215 pounds


So not a lot is the answer. £200 is about $300. Given US prices are a
bit cheaper than here. I guess you would need to pay a couple of hundred
$'s in the US.

I got four of them for under a quid!
