seeking QUIET hardware Sparc Solaris 8/Openwin

I have several applications locked to Solaris 8 (and older) and have been very happy with my Sparcs and Ultras but am getting tinnitus problems from fans and disks.

Any tips on a quiet thin client (with decent graphics, not video or gaming level but 24bit and multi monitor would be useful) that is easily found and supportable in the secondary market? Figuring on dtlogin to our larger Ultra 2 & 3 based servers. Some limited CDE/Sparc86 stuff too.

My sysop isn't really ready for virtualization (yet). Besides, I get uppity when I have to use other-than-Sun keyboards <g>.

Thanks for your thoughts,
- Jeff
