To give you an example Sun's offering for that entry level market was the Ultra Enterprise 3000. Not only did it weigh 160lbs it cost $42k. It was a vastly far superior machine though. Up to 6 400Mhz 64bit cpu and up to 6gb ram.
Of course $42k only got you the 'basic' configuration : "The Ultra Enterprise 3000 server is now priced starting at $43,250 for a system with dual 167-MHz UltraSparc processors and 256MB of memory.
