Price. These guys at GSTek have stripped SPARCstations starting at $10,
and I already have a bunch of RAM that should work in them. For that
price, plus $50 or so for a SCSI-2 1Gig drive, you can't go wrong.
I'm not planning on obtaining a SPARC system for my 'main' computer, but
rather just for the novelty. It'd take a fair amount of SPARC system to
beat My K6-2/333 Mhz, especially when you consider it cost about $550
without a monitor.
Who knows, I might even get seduced by OpenBSD or NetBSD. ;^)
