Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you ...... The Sun Microsystems Enterprise 450 !!!



The picture doesnt really give a good impression of the size, although the castors do provide a little clue - but from the datasheet....

Height 58.1 cm (22.87 in.) Width 44.8 cm (17.64 in.) Depth 69.6 cm (27.40 in.) Weight 94.0 kg (205 lb.)
So sorry Ping, but my insanity wins

Hahaha, cool, do you mind me asking how much you paid ?
We have an E450 test server at work, we rescued it out of a skip !

It was a freebie, friend of a friend got it from a place he worked at, and it came pretty loaded being the spec is 4 x 400Mhz UltraSparc2 CPUs, 4GB RAM (max) and 4x35GB 10k SCSI drives.

Got it because I really want to get up to speed with Solaris, been a while and my recent foray in the Job Market gave me the view it would be a good thing to brush up on.

Think I would rather have one of these tho, less space requirement.



Would swap you if you had one (there is one on ebay at the moment :P)

Have you checked all your pockets?
Where did you see it last?

No we have a few old E280's laying about that I'm sure nobody would miss but thats about it.

I know where there is a SunFire 15K but I might have trouble sneaking it out (I think they might miss it too)

Sorry for the derail Ping

[SoulKiss]

There are 2 E10K's on ebay at the moment too

£1400 each -

If only I had room for 2 wardrobe sized systems......

Dude wait... What? Wasn't really going anywhere anyway, so carry on. You guys are just making me look popular... as long as no-one actually reads what your posts are about.

I had a Vic 20...


Then I had a Commodore 64...



I used to HATE having to type all the codes in... sometimes 250-odd lines of coded text... then as you waited... and waited... fed the cat... took the dog for a walk... grew your hair... waited some more... it'd load!!! Then say 'syntax error, line 235'

I had a Commodore 16 for a while -


Then upgraded to a Spectrum plus 2

Speccy for me ... and I lost count of the number of times I typed in one of their latest "fab programs" (all those DATA statements, that I later found out were small machine code routines to do cool stuff that just wasn't possible with plain old BASIC) ... then you'd get some error ... forget about it ... only to find that in next months "Sinclair User" they had printed an apology and a correction to the code!! Baaahhhhhh!

Lol... I was always jealous of you guys with the spectrums!!!

Ping, you need to organise a retro night, with people bringing their old consoles round so you can get all nostalgic, drink babycham or kamikaze shots and play the Atari! (Please?)
