  Ugh.  I can't see replacing a nice modern architecture with  
something as distasteful as an x86 box.  With companies going tits-up  
all over the place, Real Computers are available SO cheaply anymore  
due to market saturation...Older but still rather ballsy desktop  
multiprocessor machines like Ultra2s can be had for twenty bucks.   
Why bother fighting with a PC?
