Terrasoft Solutions, a manufacturer of YelloDog Linux for PowerPC (also for PlayStation 3) has pulled out of the hat a Workstation ppc, based on IBM project.
specifications are interesting, 2 cpu ppc 970MP , up to 32 GB of ram, 3-port PCIe and 2 PCI-X 2-port gigabit ethernet, SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) raid and ide.
Note the 'use of' openfirmare slof IBM, which allows the 'use of video cards for x86.
The piece is interesting and more lower than one might find for used G5 Quad: $ 1895 with Linux pre-installed (and DVDs).
I hope this machine is considered for the port of OpenSolaris on PPC ....
