hopefully when i leave I.T. this year i can take away one if the multi-CPU Sun servers that are due to be scrapped soon, and try to keep my knowledge going, just in case i ever do come back to computers. The one i have in mind has about 8 CPUs, 8GB of ram and about a 22 36gb disks in a fibre-attached disk array. yum :)

@Creaky,
I think you may need a bigger boat before you can get that system ;-)

@bbmayo - i know!, that lot would be more than ballast, it would sink it. And the power draw would black out everyone else's boats. I'm gonna move back on dry land in a few months anyhow, but i think i'll keep it simple and buy a small desktop Sun server, just something small to keep the know-how going. Plus a PC with Linux (Mandrake probably) just to fiddle with, and a few modern PC's for good measure (to help me keep up to speed with you PC whizzes!). Will be able to get my 2 rather large cases back in action, but this time may not bother with the 14 cooling fans in each :)

@ddp - hey, nice one, i been doing Solaris for 5yrs. My firm is mainly a Sun shop, though we're now going Fujitsu for the big iron, with NetApp filers.
i'm looking at getting a small Sun Ultra 5 for me, and am currently copying Solaris 9 & 10 (Sparc & Intel versions), so i have enough choice, to keep my hand in for when i get around to it.

The whole thing cost me less then a tenner (including the moniter) I got 256 Mb of RAM for 50p and the case out of a skip.. lol
So, I've just ordered a load of stuff from ebuyers (seem cheap to me) and I built this computer just to see if I could (better to risk it on cheap stuff than spend a fortune and mess it up lol) :-)
