Please wait a week before buying Sun v20z's or v40z's from off of Ebay
(j/k). (As I'm in the process of picking up a few) From everything I
hear the v20z/v40z's are a great way to go and I'll know more in 15 days
or so.
Regards,
Gavin

Mischa,
I certainly understand your concern, but the price and support
sometimes go hand-in-hand. You may have to pick your batttles if your
want more bang for the buck or more support. I might be wrong on this,
but not everything you buy on E-Bay is unsupported.
We purchase a dual Operton from Sun off their E-Bay store for about
$3K less than the "buy it now" price.
From an IT perspective, support is not as critical if I can do it
myself. If it is for business 24/7 operations, then the company should
be able to put some money behind what they want to put their business
on. Your mileage may vary.
