      Well for academics, SUN 3/50 comes really cheap......

      Would somebody summarize about prices for disk drives, tape drives
      etc to go with SUN and post or email to me.
/* End of text from comp.unix.questions */

Yes now that the LIST price of a diskless node Sun 3/50 with a SCSI port
is $5k, and if you have access to getting a volume discount, it goes to under
$4k!  The problem is finding inexpensive SCSI disks to go with it.

Does anyone know of any alternatives available that are comparable to the
prices for Disks for Mac's or IBM PC's?  I'd like something in the 140 Meg
range......

This would be an excellent platform for everyone to start working on their
applications to run under the X-Window System :-)
