That's right, the ULTRA 80 also takes 4 CPU's whereas
the Blades
max out at 2 as far as I know althogh the ULTRA is
limited to
450MHz I think.

There are lots of rack mount Suns which are tricky to
get in convenient
cases, like the enterprise servers E4000, E4500, etc
which are
interesting
machines, but awkward unless you have space for racks.
I rarely see 
the pedestal version (3500).

Cheers

Ian.
