e-bay usually, unless anyone's got any going here. It may also be worth 
approahcing the Universities Comp school or computing services departments 
to see if they're getting rid of any old kit (though I'm not sure what 
University policies are).

(Anyone ever tried this, btw? Don't know if its a fruitless suggestion or 
not).

IIRC UltraSparc's (and all other modern Sun kit) use PS/2 keyboards and
mice. Although Sun keyboards are extended to support keys like 'Stop'
(useful really, given what they do).
