You should be aware of this, however. I had an Ultra 5 as a webserver and then
bought a Blade 100 for this purpose and have regretted the decision the whole
time. The Blade 100 is a slower machine overall, due to the cheap components
they use (IDE HDD, PC133 RAM, etc.) Even though the Ultra 5 was 133MHz
slower, CPU-wise, it still smoked the Blade when it came to server HTTP and
FTP. So if that's what you want it for, don't buy a Blade 100; look for a
cheap Ultra 5/10 on eBay or somewhere else.
