Business Workstations: Who makes 'em?

Whatever happened to the business workstation market? Who supports it today and still makes stuff to the desire of SparcStations back in the late 90s? Discuss.

Yeah I was looking at Sun too, but it is a general question. Just want to know what manufacturers still make them.

I'll second the HP recommendation. I use one of the new A64 3500+ workstations. It's really nice, stock out of the box. Comes stock with 1GB dual channel ram, 80GB SATA drive. No floppy. Tons of USB ports. Onboard video, but it has a PCI-E slot. Not sure if it's a 16x though. Nice business pc/workstation for the money.
 
The HP offerings do look attractive and seem to be a full cut above their normal home market products.

Do they or anyone else offer Opteron workstations, however? A quad-core rig sounds yummy, but I don't want some gay game-spec rig with neon lights, a skull coming out of the front case faceplate and a window on the side to show off 17 fans. Y'know?

Yup, we have these at work as well - Very fast for a "business" PC
