I have four machines - three Suns and a Mac - for sale, plus associated bits and bobs. They are -

Sun Blade 1000, 2x700MHz US-III, 8GB, XVR-1200 graphics, 2x300GB disks, Intel 1000Base-T NIC, DVD, Solaris 10. Works, missing the removable front bezel for the optical and floppy drive.

Sun Ultra 2, 2x400MHz US-II, 2GB, Creator3D Series 3 graphics + TGX graphics, 2x73GB disks, 1000Base-SX SBus ethernet card, fast ethernet + SCSI SBus card, Solaris 10, CD-RW, works. Has significant cosmetic damage to the top cover but the chassis is completely intact.

Sun Blade 100, 500MHz US-IIe, 512MB, XVR-100 graphics, 40GB disk, no OS, CD-ROM, works.

HP 715/80, HCRX graphics, SCSI disk, unknown amount of RAM (I think it's 32MB but I'm not 100% sure). Untested - no kb/mouse, HIL only.


Power Mac G5, single 1.8GHz CPU, Radeon 9600 graphics, 256GB SATA SSD (IIRC, I'll double-check that), there's a half-working installation of FreeBSD on it but you'll probably want to nuke and pave.

As for bits and bobs, I've got a Sun Creator3D (UPA, vertical) graphics card plus a Blade 1000 chassis with a busted motherboard but working PSU, a few SCSI CD and DVD drives, and an Sbus gigabit ethernet card.

I'll entertain most reasonable offers on these - I no longer have the space or time to devote to the hobby and would like to get this hardware out to people who might have a use for it. Unfortunately shipping is ungodly expensive lately - if you're anywhere near Denver, CO (even as far off as Colorado Springs or Cheyenne, WY), local pickup or hand-delivery can be arranged.

EDIT - the HP just sold through another channel, after not a nibble for weeks. Go figure!

EDIT - DUH, it's a vertical Creator3D (for U10/30/60/80/B1k/2k) that I have, not the horizontal one for the U1C/U2. Well, not counting the one installed in the U2.

EDIT - Sold the B100 and the U2. No movement on the G5 or B1k.

Edit: With apologies, I no longer wish to have involvement with SGUG or SGI communities in general,
and have also chosen to remove all of my content. Many things have changed since I co-founded, named, and ultimately
then left SGUG. There are many good people around, to whom I apologize for frustrating by removing these things, and
also many petty people that over the years whittled down both the enjoyment as well as sense of obligation I used to
feel to anyone else regarding what was ultimately just a hobby. Unfortunately one of the latter now writes the rules
and so it is time for me to take my things and go.

This message will replace all of my previous forum posts because deleting threads that I started would have removed
other peoples' posts.

I wouldn't call it just yet, but if that Sun Blade 1000 hasn't sold in a few months I might be interested in a pickup in Cheyenne. I am in the area occasionally :)
I'll keep an eye out; nobody's biting yet probably due to kookoo-crazy bananapants shipping prices just now.
