Weird to see the Sun microsystems mentioned in the present tense:

"Sun Microsystems claims annual savings of $68 million per year."

Perhaps it's a thing.

Wouldn't it be fun if someone would remake a or with modern components as people seem to do of just about every toy system these days.
Even the schemas and PAL code is out there, afaik, so should be fairly easy ? Or ?

The system boards & sbus cards from a Sparcserver-1000 (1994). Eight CPUs, up to 2 gig of ram, and tons of I/O. This was my home computer for a few years in the early 00's. Incredible workhorse. (I had no problem getting a linear speedup on my jobs with all 8 processors.)
