That was an Ultra 2, dual 300Mhz, dual 16gig drives, 256MB memory, and
a 1 year warranty. It is actually refurbished as opposed to some junk
that someone sells on ebay.

The SunBlade 100 looks like it is really cheaply built, while Sun PCI
cards, which you need if you are running Solaris, cost as much as the
box itself.
