I do not know for SURE, but it seems to me that when I try to 'total up' the price of a Sun box, from parts, I would be paying WAY MORE than the price of a 'used' machine. After all, I can pick up a whole Sun Blade 1000 for around $ 850, but just buying the video card & a couple of disks, puts me in the same 'ballpark'.
When I bought my Ultra 60 (3 years ago) and it broke (late last year), it was cheaper to buy a whole machine ($ 350) for parts than to replace the bad board.
