[PLUG] OT: FS Sun Ultra 10, 256 MB/440 MHz/9.1 GB/CDROM/Creator3D


Once more, I thought I would post here before going to craigslist. I expect that the PLUGers out there are a little more appreciative of off beat hardware.


Offered:
Sun Ulta Sparc 10
No Operating System. Will run debian/sparc, plus it should run a version of solaris (I don't know much about solaris), and probably other distros.

256 MB RAM (1 pair of 128 mb sticks), 440 MHz processor
Freshly wiped (via dban) 9.1 GB IDE drive (Seagate Barracuda)
IDE CDROM
Sun keyboard and Mouse
On board ATI VGA, plus a Creator 3D card (with dongle to allow use of any VGA monitor)
Power cable

The case has small dent or two, and the beige plastic is yellowing from age. Your spouse will probably not want to put this in the living room, but it works great.

For pick up at my location on the east side of Lansdale, PA.

Asking $35.

Pay the asking price, and I'll throw in:
The old 330 MHz processor that came with the unit
A burned copy of debian 4.0 (etch, netinst) on CDR.
One cat5e bright yellow ethernet cable, about 20 foot long.

About the "No OS". I was going to install a fresh copy of debian, but it seems silly to spend time on that when I don't know if anyone really wants debian. Plus, I can't give you any good reason to trust me. Plus, my weekend is almost over already. Basically, all you would need to do it plug everything, install the distro of your choice and you are good to go.

I was running two 120 GB drives in this unit. I ran debian on this for a couple of years as my home server. I lost a (120 GB) drive, and replaced my ultra with x86 machine I had lying around. It brings me over to get rid of this machine but I have too much gear. I don't really have any reason to keep up with sun/sparc hardware, as nice as it is, so the ultra goes.
