Go to VNC (Virtual Network Computers).  They sell a wide range of Sun
and SGI gear, as well as some HP stuff.  They also some some PC desktop,
notebook, and Mac systems.

A Sparc 10 with 2 GB (1 GB X 2), 20-inch monitor, keyboard, mouse, and
memory (forgot if it's 64 or 128), is 78,000 yen.  I think the CPU was a
50 MHz HyperSparc (double check when you get there).  VNC has very
reasonable prices and fluent English is spoken.
