[Beowulf] Sun Fire X2100 Server

[Eugen Leitl]

I've managed to miss Sun's Galaxy and Aquarius launch,
but today at work I learned that the Sun Fire X2100 Server

http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdoc.aspx?i=2530

starts at about 700 EUR (no drives, no DVD, no IPMI, 1x Opteron 146,
1x512 MB unbuffered ECC PC3200, but it can apparently handle non-ECC
as well).

IPMI 1.5 module and sliding rails are about 135 EUR.

Have any of you first-hand experience with this hardware?
Any caveats? I don't see any warts so far.
