You can get a dual 300mhz ultra 60 on ebay for $900-1000 USD.  Mine
does a make -j 8 buildworld in just over 2 hours with some strategic
stuff turned off in make.conf (profiled libs, objective c, fortran).

Search for "sun ultra" on ebay; I got mine from paladintech.  Ultra 10s
are cheaper but more PC class, my 300mhz does a full buildworld in about
5 hours last time I timed it.  Ultra 2 is probably the best value, but
we don't support the builtin scsi controller yet.

You can also get various new machines on sun.com for around $1000 USD,
IIRC a 500mhz blade 100 does a buildworld in around 2-3 hours.
