Can anyone comment on whether one can buy satisfactory aftermarket
parts for the ultra 40? The disk looks to come in some kind of sled
which I'm not familiar with (or is it the same as in older Sun
machines?). What about graphics cards? Can I buy a minimal spec ultra
40 from Sun and then count on upgrading it with lots of SATA disks
from other vendors and perhaps a graphics card direct from Nvidia? I
read it can now take up to 8 hard drives, sounds like a pretty nice
home ZFS server!
I have one of these machines at work and quite like it, but obviously
getting non-sun parts for a machine at the office is probably a harder
sell than going the normal route.
Thanks
Chris
