I'd like to suggest looking for a used HP Z400 on eBay.  They're Solaris 
certified.  I picked up 3 for $100 each with 6 GB of DRAM, quad core 2.9 GHz 
Xeon and 160 GB disk earlier this year.  I already had one I'd bought a few 
years ago.  I needed one, but got the others for spares. The build quality is 
excellent.  Runs Hipster 2017.10 just fine.  

After a ridiculous amount of work I've finally gotten Windows 7 and Debian 
working as guests under VirtualBox.  Performance on Windows is not quite 
adequate for running SDRuno with my SDRplay RSP2 (audio stutters) but otherwise 
is fine with 8 GB of DRAM.  I installed a 3 in 2 iStar trayless disk enclosure 
and am running three 2 TB disks (s0 = 100 GB, s1=rest) using a 3 way mirrored 
rpool in s0 and a RAIDZ1 pool in s1.    I mostly use the RSP2 for spectrum 
analysis, so not a big deal.  And I still have not tried to optimize 
performance.  Too much to do.

Have Fun!

 What hardware do I need to run OpenIndiana
 2017.10? How much RAM and 
 processor speed is needed?
