Did one of the V100s get delivered to @FiyaFly we well? I was expecting questions about that once it had arrived.
-
no just the drobo
-
He wanted the broken gear but not the gear that works fine? Weird.
-
How much would shipping a V100 to me cost? And maybe the HP server too
-
LOL, I'll let @Minion-Queen jump in with real numbers but I'm guessing that the number falls firmly between "not a lot" and "more than they are worth"
But maybe the V100 wouldn't be too bad, they are much shorter than you would guess and rather light. Far easier to ship than a DL145. About half the weight and 67% of the length. They are actually square.
-
yeah the cost of the shipping is what killed my desire for one.
-
I can look up shipping costs tomorrow (if you remind me).
-
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 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.

Or maybe tomorrow

No idea where she was today.

Client fires all day. I will take a look tomorrow morning when I can weigh it etc.

Is that why my sneakers were smoking this morning?...
-
@Jason around $50ish... for shipping.
-
I think that a lot of this stuff is still up for grabs. Maybe it's time for an update.
-
Pics of stuff?

@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!
