Hi there, Lucky you -- sounds like a great deal. :)
Unfortunately the CS: Source binaries are all for the AMD/Intel chipset platforms. There are binaries optimized for i486, i686, and 32 bit amd. There are no 64 bit binaries for Source. The game is closed source too, so you won't be able to recompile it for your platform. I guess you could donate one of your many new boxes to the folk at Valve so they could at some stage make a Sparc build. But seeing as a 64 bit server binary for the AMD platform is either causing a lot of difficulty, or is very low on the priority list, I seriously doubt you'll see a Sparc build any time in the next few years, if ever. More likely it'd be turned into an office doom server. :-) If you choose Sun Servers with intel or amd chips you may be able to use lxrun under Solaris to run CS Source: http://www.sun.com/software/linux/compatibility/lxrun/ I don't think that will work on the Sparc platform however.
