I'm sure you could get one on ebay. I remember looking at their Sun pages a couple years back and seeing plenty of ultras pretty cheap. The quad fast ethernet card might have to be bought separately, but there were tons of spare parts on there too. I'd expect you could get both for pretty cheap.

Make sure you get a Sun keyboard and mouse with it though - Sun Ultras won't work with a regular PC keyboard. Or you could go with a Sun Blade 100 or 150 which use USB keyboards and mice. They are a little newer so that route might be more expensive.
