Sun Happy Meal 64Bit PCI cards are problematic, and one gets reset pci error. So they are not included in net-vm and the topic is to be investigated.
The Happy Meal cards have their Flash removed, as it is sun specific
and interferes with bios. But Linux does not need the flash.
Managed to get SUN HME running in HVM with configure strict reset for PCI
devices.

Sound Works, there is enough RAM for any VM, so one could go without swap space to be nice to the SSDs.
Keyboard and mouse are PS/2 so I have USB-VM.
The machine has PCI-e, PCI-X (Adaptec SCSI will be installed), PS/2, and floppy
So, as my machine fulfills the following criteria, I hereby call it out for inclusion in the community-recommended list:
- Qubes OS installs without any workarounds
- Graphics, networking, audio and suspend work without troubleshooting
- Recommended 16 GB RAM are possible
- Keyboard can be connected via PS/2 in case of desktops
- Readily available to be purchased (including pre-owned)
