Hi, I posted the message below to a UK-based mailing list of hardware-fondlers, but didn't get any bites. Is there really *nobody* in the London area that fancies collcting a free fixer-upper x64 Sun box? --- I'm moving home shortly and don't have any short-term use for some of my Fine Legacy Equipment: 1) A Sun Ultra 20 M2. This is a dual-core ~2GHz Opteron, 4GB ECC RAM and some good video cards. A rather nice piece of kit when it was made in 2006, but rather behind the curve now. Worse, a recent attempt to install a SCSI card into it to read some old disks caused the thing to not want to POST. It did this before and started working again after a faff with the CMOS batter, but that didn't work and I didn't care to spend the time debugging it. Realistically, this is a source of a novelty case, PSU and spud brackets for a Sun-fancier who fancies putting a decent x86 box inside. It's a standard ATX case, so no epic case modding is required. This is arguably the pre-skip tat. Best offer wins, even if that is "I'll come to Mitcham and not charge you for dragging it away". 2) A whitebox 3U Opteron server. Two Opteron CPUs, RAM, hardware SATA RAID controller, and 10 hotswap drive bays. ISTR it has an optical drive, but I'd have to go and check. This *does* work (or at least did when I last tested it) but the power consumption is horrific. I bought this for the case/PSU, but never got round to transferring my home fileserver's guts into it. Now I have exactly 10 disks, there's no room for expansion so it's of limited use to me now. (I intend to go and buy a much larger case, probably the X-Case RM 424s[0] or one of its siblings.) The motherboard is again clearly junk, but the case and other bits still have value, so this is the pre-eBay tat which I estimate is worth around ?120. I'll offer a deep discount on this price to anybody who can again just collect it and not make me have to figure out how to ship the damn thing.
