SUN Microsystems OSNews reader rom508 sent us a note that apparently, Sun has ceased selling all of its UltraSPARC-based workstations, with only their x86 workstation offerings remaining. The Ultra 25 and Ultra 45 workstations, both UltraSPARC-based, are still listed on Sun's website, but are marked as 'end-of-life', with the notice that they are "superceded by the next generation Sun Ultra 24 Workstation [x86]". One must wonder if this means the end of Sun's UltraSPARC workstation line. As a proud owner of an indestructible Ultra 5, I must say, that would be rather sad.

Can those use industry standard power supplies, or are they all proprietary. Antec has a *very* affordable line of 80 Plus certified and RoHS compliant, power factor corrected, power supplies called "EarthWatts". I just picked up a 380W unit for $29.00 US plus shipping from NewEgg.
