      I think that the V100 is the big "find" of the set because it is small and easy to ship, quiet to run in a house, can be racked or easily wall mounted, is light and easy to move around yet provides a very cool non-PC server platform. Runs FreeBSD well, has two drives for RAID 1 but is Sparc based and is perfect for forcing you to gain perspective on using non-Intel and non-AMD architecture systems.

        I can look up shipping costs tomorrow (if you remind me).

        I forgot to remind you, can you look for me tomorrow?

          Absolutely love Sun hardware! Still have Ultra10 and Ultra40 in a running conditions somewhere in our basement.

          P.S. It's a pity Sun is out. Pretty much like DEC.

            Sun hardware used to be amazing. Those old pizza box desktops were solid as could be.

                    Is that why my sneakers were smoking this morning?...

                        I think that a lot of this stuff is still up for grabs. Maybe it's time for an update.

                            @scottalanmiller Your making me feel wasteful for scraping a dozen Gen7's with 6 core proc's.

                              Scraping! I would have paid shipping to get it to my house!

                                    Thank but no. There is enough paper here to deal with.

                                      What?! Lots of us would have taken those off your hands in a second! What a waste.

                                        Seriously. We have a lab that can always use more gear, too!

                                          Heck, I would've driven quite a ways for one of those. :frowning2:

                                            Oh yeah... Even international shipping costs would be OK for such a machine
