the 16" sony color monitor you might be able to get with a 3/60 is probably
worth a couple hundred alone in good condition.. all you need is an
RGBS to modern Sun connector to make it run. 'course if you can't
reuse the monitor elsewhere the the sun3 dies it's not worth much.
The machine itself with little memory, though, I'd have to agree.
3/50's don't take memory upgrades without third party hardware so
they're pretty much worthless. I use one for a low impact web server
with an external drive, but it's not good for much else.
