The Ultra Enterprise 2 / Creator is a surprisingly economical box, but will measure power next time it's down to confirm. The Compaq pc next to it gets far warmer.


not anything like so well engineered and it would be an
Intel cpu, which is a major security risk in itself...

Compare the internals of any pre U5/10 etc sun box and they look and feel far better engineered than pc's of the same timeframe. As for Intel, a non Intel cpu doesn't execute Intel binaries, so there's one class of risk removed at a stroke...
