It is a normal price for a SUN server product.
Even if those stuff gets old they freeze the price at any time so you may find a 16 GB harddrive or 100 MBit ethernet cards for some hundred $$.
1 GHz frequency on SUN CPUs is not that old like Intel!
nevertheless, those products are very overpriced.
But ... that's SUN:-) |

If you want to buy HP or Compaq replacement parts you can pay even 50% more compared to a retailer.
Nothing new with SUN. Over-evaluation is a matter of cash... most costumers don't know anything about computers, they just believe and think about tax deductions.
That was my 2 cents. |

Wow really?.......I never knew Sun spark was that expensive.
Although ,I did know server gear(replacement part) were not cheap...guess it makes sence....but ya, slightly over price there

Its ridiculous how expensive PC's were back then, and now you find them on the side of the road at the trash!
At lease now the prices are fairly reasonable...
