Yup. My main desktop is currently a nicely specced Ultra 20 + 24.1"
LCD monitor + Type 5c keyboard via one of those VPI Type to USB
doohickeys.

Not quite! My "other" workstation (which is what my wife uses) is
my Sun Blade 1000.
I love the performance of the AMD stuff, but I'm still a SPARC guy
at heart. The x86 platform is just so, err, idiosyncratic, and
broken in some respects, that it probably will never take the place
of SPARC in my heart. Give me a SPARC workstation with the single
core performance of a high-end Opteron processor, and I'll be in
heaven!
