you can download Solaris for about $20 from sun. I did it once about a year ago.

The only thing is that you have to meet their stricked hardware needs.

I tried installing it on three different hardware types of X86 systems and no luck. So you might look at their hardware requirements and buy those prate to build your self one.

I believe SUN is no longer charging $20 for the x86 Solaris.
I installed Solaris x86 both on a Dell Dimension machine and an IBM Intellistation without any problems.
