    I have Sun Enterprise 450 with 4×300MHz processors (taked from my old Sun Ultra2 workstations) and four DC-DC 45W converters. I buy that hardware last year for symbolical sum: 120$, but seems like that E450 have broken motherboard :-( So I wait when seller who sell mo-bo that support CPU up to 480MHz freq. and with normal shipping price to Europe/Latvia.
