unexpandable?  I'd question that.  I've got a bunch of those things here.
They've got 2 ultra-wide SCSI bays internally, plus an external SCSI port.
They have one PCI slot and can get extra memory through the use of Sun
'mezzanine' modules.

What's unexpandable about them?  We configure ours with 36GB of disk,
320MB of RAM, and a Fore ATM card, none of which 'comes with' the standard
system.
