Dropping profits and stock prices have analysts speculating that Sun could be a target for either acquisition or a restructuring in which the company would sell off parts of the business and focus on a smaller set of technologies. In a July 31 report, the 451 Group analyst firm raised the possibility of Sun being acquired: 'Sun's sunken stock price creates a relative bargain considering its roughly $4 billion cash on hand, sizeable intellectual property and patent portfolio, and of course, its respected technology and products'.

I don't know where you are getting your pricing information from, but in the x86 market which HP and Dell are primarily involved in Sun's pricing are very competive. Have actually ever worked with a Dell box? Any who would buy one of those over a Sun machine is loony in my opinion
Now, their SPARC line is expensive but so is any RISC based server from ANY manufacturer. Ever look up the price of a Power6 based server from IBM?
