[H-GEN] Sparc Ultra 10 For Sale (reduced price!)

[Ben Fowler]

Hi all,

I'm moving overseas, so I'm getting rid of all my computer stuff.  I 
originally advertised my kitted-out Sparc Ultra 10 for $450, but due to 
lacklustre interest, I've knocked a few bucks off the price -- asking 
price is now $390, or nearest offer by the time I nick off mid-May.

I'll be bringing the box to next HUMBUG (on the 23rd of April) to show 
off, unless it gets snapped up earlier.


Specs:

- Machine has a 333MHz UltraSparc II processor
- 256 megs of RAM
- 80 gigabyte IDE hard drive
- CDROM, floppy.
- Built in 8-bit framebuffer (VGA connector), and accelerated addon
Creator3D framebuffer (13W3 connector).
- Good Sun Type 5 keyboard and mouse.
- Video capture card (not tested)
- (NO MONITOR)

The machine has a clean install of Solaris 10, although I can supply my
install media to the new owner.

The machine does not come with a monitor. A Sun monitor works nicely
with the Creator3D, or you can use a VGA monitor with the internal
framebuffer or use the 13W3-VGA adaptor. The thing will also take a 
dumbterm as a console or happily boot headless.

These boxes are very reliable.  Our research group has had one of these
running as our web server, and running various other services for years
between powerdowns without problems.  If you want to play with Solaris
10 too (e.g. dtrace, Java Desktop, etc etc), on a 64-bit big endian
machine, then something like this Sparc Ultra would be ideal.

Asking price for the lot - $390 o.n.o.

-regards,

Ben.
