The Great NTG Lab Liquidation of 2015

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.

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.

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!

Meh - Still don't know what I would do with any of it.. Still trying to liquidate some of my own stuff.. but nothing worthy of putting here. As it's not IT stuff ..
