 	Ah, those are little cool lunchboxes. Might be better to get a 
modern ITX mainboard and throw it in there. Sucker is slower than your 
disused palm-pilot.

 	Otherwise, I have a sound/speaker thingy for it, some Sun cables, 
and the magical mac/sun serial cable. It should take a standard Sun 
keyboard, which I don't have.

 	They used to sell those and IPCs at the SoSide Goodwill. I painted 
one red once.
